Celebrating the Spanish Renaissance's greatest poems and offering a new appreciation of Spain's "Golden Age, " Edith Grossman turns her passionate fervor and stylistic brilliance to the works of Jorge Manrique, Garcilaso de la Vega, a soldier and courtier who wrote love poetry, Fray Luis de León, a converso Jew, San Juan de la Cruz, whose poems are the finest exemplars of Christian mysticism, Luis de Góngora, a great sensualist, Lope de Vega, Cervantes' rival, Francisco de Quevedo, the ultimate Baroque poet, and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the nun whose haunting poetry embodied the voice of Mexico. Through these glorious voices, presented in facing-page Spanish and English, The Golden Age offers a new way to connect with the literary heritage of the Spanish-speaking world.
