Critical edition of the seventeenth-century Spanish poet's moral
poetry: the Polimnia group of poems from his Poesiia moral. `The
clarity and intelligence with which both the poetry and the
introductory material are presented make this book a useful tool
for the scholar.' BARBARA MUJICAFrancisco de Quevedo, Spanish
novelist, satirist and moralist of theseventeenth century, was also
renowned as a poet. His sonnets on the vanity of life are perhaps
his finest work in the genre. He grouped his poetry in categories
corresponding to the nine muses, and this volume presents the
Polimniagroup; the second muse, Polymnia, `sings moral poetry -
which reveals and seeks to reform human customs'. Alfonso Rey's
critical edition encompasses the one hundred and ten sonnets, one

transmission, and reveals the thematic and stylist homogeneity of
the collection. Second edition, completely revised and
significantly expanded. ALFONSO REY is Professor of Spanish
Literature at the University of Santiago de Compostela.
