Considerado el primer poeta de la Espana moderna, y tambien el ultimo de los medievales, Jorge Manrique representa sobre todo la Espana de los reyes catolicos. En este libro se reunen sus poemas mas conocidos como las Coplas a la muerte de mi padre que lo haria tan celebre. Los poemas de Manrique revelan a menudo una nostalgia por la fugacidad de la vida y tambien una exaltacion de la belleza de Castilla. Su obra ha sido interpretada como un canto de despedida del renacimiento a la edad media.

Coplas a la muerte de su padre by Jorge Manrique (c.1440–79) is one of the most celebrated poems in the Spanish language. Written shortly before the poet’s death, it is a dignified elegy that speaks not just of a personal loss, that of the poet’s father Rodrigo Manrique (d.1476), but of the evanescence of all things. Its popularity is aided by memorable lines, not least the two opening metaphors: man’s life is a river meandering unto the sea of death, and this world is the road to the next, the lasting dwelling place. The poem replicates these reflections in its wending form. Its forty stanzas each comprise four tercets; each tercet is made up of two longer octosyllabic verses combined with one four-syllable half-line known as pie quebrado. These regular broken lines, like beats of a heart, invest the poem with a resonant quality befitting the injunction at the opening of the poem to awaken one’s slumbering soul to the passage of time.

Este volumen recoge la obra poetica de Jorge Manrique. Si su poesia amorosa y cortesana, encuadrada en los canones de la corriente lirica del XV, no es nada desdenable, sus famosisimas Coplas han quedado como una de las creaciones mas bellas de la literatura espanola. Estas 40 estrofas de pie quebrado constituyen una profunda meditacion sobre la fugacidad de la vida y un tributo de piedad filial. Un tema tradicional al que, segun la definicion clasica de Pedro Salinas, aporto Manrique una rara originalidad.
