Sinopsis del Libro

Libro The Poem of Fernán González

Fernan Gonzalez lived from about AD 910 to 970. The popular image of him is of a fearsome warrior who gave his people protection from their enemies (both Muslim and Christian), and a wise and respected lord who enabled them to live in security and harmony. He was generally accepted to have played a strategic role in achieving independence for Castile and freeing it from dominance by the kingdom of Leon. The Poema de Fernan Gonzalez was composed (by an unknown author) in the mid-thirteenth century as an enduring celebration of his triumphs and account of his life and deeds. Fact and legend have become intertwined and there is much within its stanzas that is certainly not closely based on historic facts! This new translation is set against a detailed study of the historic context of the Castillian conflicts and a factual account of the life and achievements of Fernan Gonzalez. The political situation of the time in which the poem was composed is also considered, as is the manner in which the 'history' it espouses came to be handed down over three centuries, the possibility of a pre-existing rich oral tradition surrounding this iconic figure, and the possible sources employed by the poet in constructing the poem.

Poemas escritos en la primera juventud

Libro Poemas escritos en la primera juventud

Muchos de los poemas que conforman Poems Written In Early Youth, escritos entre los dieciséis y veintidós años, incluyen la formación misma que el combatiente modernista buscaría desacreditar más tarde: Shelley, Tennyson y los victorianos, incluso Byron (cuya influencia se hace muy visible en poemas como “A Fable for Feasters”). Aunque la mayoría de los poemas muestran a un Eliot virando hacia los intereses revolucionarios de su primer volumen: la influencia de Laforgue, Corbière y Baudelaire, y la resurrección de los metafísicos.
