The Strife of Tongues

Descripción del libro

Fray Luis de Len (1527-91) is known chiefly as the author of some of the finest poetry of the Spanish Golden Age, but he also wrote important prose works in both Latin and Spanish, and produced eloquent translations into Spanish of biblical and classical texts. He spent five years imprisoned in solitary confinement by the Spanish Inquisition, fighting to clear himself of a series of accusations against his views on the Bible. Acquitted on all counts, he returned to teach at the University of Salamanca. This book examines the controversies in which Fray Luis was caught up, and investigates the complex influences upon his writings of his prison experiences, his indebtedness to Judaism, his interests as a linguist, and his work as a biblical scholar and theologian. Colin Thompson looks afresh at Fray Luis's most famous poems and prose works, and explores his understanding of language as a means of enabling God to speak to humanity and humanity to rise to God.

Igualmente, Reyes nos comparte su gozo ante autores como Chesterton, Proust, Goethe, Descartes, en lo que constituye un gratificante paseo por la escritura y la lectura.

Time's Now

Poetry in English and Spanish, openly political, blatantly blunt, and religiously irreverent, reaches from the innermost corners of the soul to the streets of New York, to the battlegrounds of Central America, and finally to union with the godhead

El cuerpo de la emigración y la emigración en el cuerpo

Este estudio explora textos literarios, fílmicos y visuales de los siglos XIX y XX centrados en la temática de la emigración española de carácter interior, continental y transoceánico. Indaga acerca del papel del cuerpo como metáfora de la alienación, desarraigo y crisis de identidad propias del proceso migratorio. ¿Por qué a pesar de la existencia de un corpus literario considerable, la literatura de la emigración española ha quedado prácticamente excluida del canon español? ¿Cuál es su relación con el imaginario nacional y con otras narrativas de contacto alimentadas por...
