'You have dark eyes. Gleams there that promise darkness'. Spanish poetry is astonishing in its richness and variety. This anthology covers the two great flowerings of Spanish verse: the first, which lasted to the end of the seventeenth century, and second, from the mid-nineteenth century through the Spanish Civil War, to the present. This third edition has been revised to represent more fully the poetry of resistance that emerged during the Franco years, giving more space to older poets such as Jorge Guillen and the great survivor of the Lorca generation and Nobel Prize winner Vicente Aleixandre, as well as a number of more contemporary poets who have forged a new era in Spanish poetry.J. M. Cohen's selection presents each poem with a facing page plain prose translation. This edition also includes an introduction discussing the history and world significance of Spanish poetry. 'No body of lyrical poetry is so seriously under-estimated by British readers as the Spanish' - J. M. Cohen. This book is translated and edited with an introduction by J. M. Cohen.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Penguin Book of Spanish Verse: Third Edition (Parallel Text, Penguin) (Spanish and English Edition) (Paperback)
The book arrived in a timely manner and was in excellent condition. It was what I expected and so I am quite satisfied with this purchase. I am relearning Spanish after having studied it in my long lost youth, and these types of books of quality literature with side by side translation to confirm your understanding are a wonderful and enjoyable asset.
