Bøker av Garcilaso de la Vega

Garcilaso de la Vega (ca 1501-36) was a Castilian nobleman at the court of Charles V. As the first poet to make the Italian Renaissance lyric style at home in Spanish, he is credited with beginning the golden age of Spanish poetry. This title can help to explain to the English-speaking public this poet's preeminence.

An abridgment of both volumes of Livermore's classic translation, this work presents those selections that comprise Garcilaso's historical narrative. The author's introduction and notes set Garcilaso in his intellectual, historical, and cultural contexts.
