Return to the distant, glittering world of the Spanish Renaissance with forty great poems in a remarkable new translation. "Nothing is harder
than to render a classic in contemporary idiom yet retain its sense of time and space
.Edith Grossman delivers."Carlos Fuentes, New York Times Book Review The Spanish Renaissancea period of glory that endured from the late fifteenth century through the seventeenth centurycomes to life in its greatest poems, rendered with passionate fervor and a stylistic brilliance.
