El ornato burlesco en Quevedo

Este es el segundo volumen de un proyecto cuyo objetivo es la traducción y lectura crítica de los cuarenta cuadernillos de Emily Dickinson, unas secuencias poéticas cortas que plantean una serie de preguntas fascinantes acerca de las intenciones y los logros artísticos de esta misteriosa autora norteamericana. La traducción de cada cuadernillo va acompañada de un comentario crítico con el fin de explicar los poemas y establecer el papel temático que juega cada una de estas piezas tempranas dentro de la obra global de la poeta.

Interesting contribution to the growing body of studies on these writers"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
