Garcilaso de la Vega and the Italian Renaissance

Sinopsis del Libro

Following studies by Goodman, Waley, and Darst, this new study of Garcilaso's work rejects as unfounded the traditional readings of Garcilaso's poetry based on the idea of sincerity and the poet's frustrated love for the Portuguese lady-in-waiting Isabel Freire. In place of the much-abused concept of sincerity, Heiple argues that the intellectual currents of the Renaissance are much more important for the analysis of Garcilaso's poetry. He analyzes in Garcilaso's poetry the uses of Renaissance concepts of mythology, poetic style, theories of love, primitivism, and iconological traditions. Especially important in these analyses are the poetic practices of Petrarchism as defined by Pietro Bembo and the reaction against them proclaimed by Bernardo Tasso. Heiple studies each of the sonnets, tracing their roots in the Hispanic cancionero poetry through Petrarchism and Neoplatonism to the specific reactions against the Italian Petrarchan mode, ending with the sonnets in imitation of the classical epigram. Several longer poems, Canción IV, Elegy II, and Ode ad florem Gnidi, are discussed within the contexts of Renaissance poetic conventions and ideas, bringing to the fore Garcilaso's incisive wit. By abandoning the traditional search for biographical elements in the love poems, Heiple is able to bring new relevant information to the interpretation of well-known texts and provide new readings for many of Garcilaso's poems.

El día de Ir y Venir

The book refers to a time when people were still connected and live in harmony with nature. It is a history of nomads, tribes, and holidays to celebrate that everything flows, that everything can be seen as energy in motion, and that everything is continually changing. The text is written in poetic prose and the illustrations are dynamic and full of details and vivid colors. El libro ha nacido de la experiencia conjunta del autor y la ilustradora, pero no habla directamente de danza, sino que nos remite al tiempo en el que las personas todav�a estaban conectadas y viv�an en armon�a con...

La novela de escritoras dominicanas de 1990 a 2007

This book offers the first critical analysis of the study of narrative literature written by women from the Dominican Republic during the past fifteen years. Beginning by tracing the history of Dominican women writers from the nineteenth century to the present, the study then moves on to an analysis of the construction of space and identity in the works of these authors. Opening the door to researching this new generation of Dominican women novelists, this work makes significant contributions to the fields of Caribbean and women's studies. It is also available in Spanish.

Entre lo Local y lo Global

Este libro propone un conjunto de lecturas sobre la narrativa latinoamericana de las últimas dos décadas, la discusión de sus formas de existencia o inexistencia y su transcripción de la complejidad de unos tiempos en los que se conjugan la diferencia y la ubicuidad del imperialismo con la diversidad cultural y la estandarización mundial; internacionalización y cosmopolitismo que, en conjunción con la reescritura de aspectos locales, transcurren en un espacio híbrido que está lejos de poder adscribirse ni a McDonald's ni a Macondo. Consciente de la imposibilidad de generalizaciones...
