Ausias March
Verse translations of selected works by Ausiàs March, the great fifteenth-century Valencian poet. The Valencian Ausiàs March [1400-1459] was one of the greatest poets writing in Europe in the fifteenth century. His work is characterized by a powerful and unique voice and by the constant innovation that allowed him not only todevelop traditional genres, but to compose poems that virtually created genres of their own. This selection includes poems on love, a cycle of six compositions on grief, a long poem on God and predestination, others of praise andvilification, or on philosophical themes. While March has previously been translated into English prose, this anthology offers translations that, more than an aid to understanding the medieval Catalan, aspire to be poems that can be enjoyed in English without constant reference to the original. The translator has worked for several decades on Ausiàs March, and has produced a critical edition and two anthologies, as well as prose translations. ROBERT ARCHER holds the Cervantes Chair of Spanish at King's College London. Published in association with Editorial Barcino

The Pervasive Image
It is tempting to speculate that had Ausiàs March (1397-1459) written in Spanish instead Catalan, or rather the Valencian form of it which was his native tongue, he would by now undoubtedly be more widely recognised as the finest lyric poet in the Iberian Peninsula before the sixteenth century, and as one of the greatest in fifteenth century Europe as a whole. This study concerns one aspect of March's poetry: his use of analogy. March's poetry provides a large and varied working context in which to approach the simile as a poetic instrument in its own right, and it is almost as much to this broad aim as to the more specific matter of the use and function of the similes and allied forms of analogy in March's work that this study is addressed. Partly with the non-specialist reader in mind--someone with an interest in simile but not necessarily a direct concern with March--the quotations in Provençal and Catalan have been translated.
The Troubadours to Ausiàs March
The purpose of Dr. Anna Alberni’s project is to reveal the poetic heritage of the BC from the troubadours to Ausiàs March, and to describe some of the most relevant pieces of that particular collection, such as the Cançoner Gil and Cançoner Vega-Aguiló. From the perspective of multiple authors, the book introduces us to the universe of Catalan troubadour poetry up until Ausiàs March, the culmination of the period under examination. The work includes interviews with Miriam Cabré, Antoni Rossell, Victoria Cirlot and Josep Pujol, together with some of Rossell’s musical performances and medieval poetry readings by Jesús R. Velasco, Miriam Cabré, Anna Alberni and Josep Pujol. The extensive bibliography provides a useful learning tool for all readers interested in Catalan poetry between the 11th and 15th centuries.
