Following studies by Goodman, Waley, and Darst, this new study of Garcilaso's work rejects as unfounded the traditional readings of Garcilaso's poetry based on the idea of sincerity and the poet's frustrated love for the Portuguese lady-in-waiting Isabel Freire.

Durante mas de tres mil anos, este relato mitologico fue cantado por los egipcios en himnos, poemas y representaciones teatrales, pero su maximo testimonio tenia lugar en la ciudad de Abidos, en el Alto Egipto, cuando numerosos sacerdotes representaban un drama misterico en honor...
