'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.
