Bøker av Luis de Gongora

The aim of this edition is to make it approachable for those who are coming to Gongora, or Spanish poetry, for the first time. The poem fuses epic and pastoral as it describes a journey through the countryside and contrasts the beauty of nature with the vices of court and commercial greed.

Recognising the need for a convenient edition of Gongora for English readers and students, this 1942 collection contains a selection which, in addition to showing Gongora's versatility and experimentation in verse forms, makes available several poems to be read for their music, beauty, and simple yet artificial charm.
