The Melancholy Void
At the turn of the seventeenth century, Spanish lyric underwent a notable development. Several Spanish poets reinvented lyric as a melancholy and masculinist discourse that sang of and perpetrated symbolic violence against the female beloved. This shift emerged in response to the rising prestige and commercial success of the epic and was enabled by the rich discourse on the link between melancholy and creativity in men. In The Melancholy Void Felipe Valencia examines this reconstruction of the lyric in key texts of Spanish poetry from 1580 to 1620. Through a study of canonical and influential texts, such as the major poems by Luis de Góngora and the epic of Alonso de Ercilla, but also lesse...
Brief Forms in Medieval and Renaissance Hispanic Literature
The studies gathered in this volume engage in different ways with the ideas of André Jolles (1874–1946), whose Einfache Formen (“Simple Forms”) was first published in 1930. Trained as an anthropologist, Jolles argued that these “simple” forms – Legende (legend), Sage (saga), Mythe (myth), Rätsel (riddle), Spruch (proverb), Kasus (case), Memorabile (memorable action), Märchen (folk or fairy tale) and Witz (joke or witticism) – which had circulated at a very early stage of human culture underlay the more sophisticated genres of literature. Unlike epic or tragedy, many of the simple forms are not theorised in classical rhetoric. The essays presented here focus on their reception in Hispanic culture from the Middle Ages to circa 1650. As such, the book will be of interest to scholars of medieval and early modern Spanish, Catalan and Latin literature. It will also appeal to historians of Humanism as well as scholars working on classical and Renaissance literary theory.

This book compares the theatrical cultures of early modern England and Spain and explores the causes and consequences not just of the remarkable similarities but also of the visible differences between them. An exercise in multi-focal theatre history research, it deploys a wide range of perspectives and evidence with which to recreate the theatrical landscapes of these two countries and thus better understand how the specific conditions of performance actively contributed to the development of each country’s dramatic literature. This monograph develops an innovative comparative framework within which to explore the numerous similarities, as well as the notable differences, between early mo...

Retórica, literatura y periodismo
En este volumen se recogen las propuestas que se presentaron en el V Seminario Emilio Castelar en el que se analizaron las relaciones que se establecen entre el lenguaje oratorio, los textos literarios y los periodísticos. Los trabajos que se debatieron estaban apoyados en dos supuestos teóricos: la literatura crea un mundo de ficción que parte de un mundo real y éste queda transformado por la acción literaria.

Tu canción entre sus canciones. José Agustín Goytisolo y la música
El importante número de canciones compuestas sobre los poemas de José Agustín Goytisolo evidencia las innegables cualidades líricas de una buena parte de la producción poética de este autor, uno de los más queridos y respetados de cuantos han dado las letras españolas en la segunda mitad del siglo xx. En este libro, el profesor Francisco Javier Ayala, buen conocedor de la poética del medio siglo, aborda el análisis de las relaciones entre la música y la poesía en la obra de José Agustín Goytisolo, atendiendo tanto a los aspectos estilísticos de sus textos a la luz de las musicalizaciones como a su difusión a través de la música. En paralelo, se exploran –a partir sobre to...
