<div> <div> <div> <span>This book is an extensive collection of Spanish poetry from the 14th century. Beginning with the era-defining 'CANCIONERO DE JUAN ALFONSO DE BAENA', this work includes poems from around 50 poets. Baena served as secretary to King John I of Castile, who's court was a noted center of poetry. This book provides an extensive glimpse into a pivotal period in the evolution of Spanish literature, which was moving away from traditional medieval verse and into the new humanist style. The collection includes early sonnets, debates, and the popular 'serranillas', which featured everyday speech and colloquial language. Nearly all of these poems appear here in their original language with Spanish-language notes and an extensive introduction which provides context on the poets and the era. This makes the work a valuable tool for both scholars and enthusiasts of Medieval Spanish poetry.</span> </div> <div><div></div><i></i><span>Read more</span></div> </div> </div>
