José de Espronceda

El estudiante de Salamanca

El libro constituye una edición de los textos más importantes y significativos de uno de nuestros más insignes poetas románticos, José de Espronceda (1808-1842), incluyendo una introducción en la que se contextualiza la obra en su época y se analizan los diversos avatares por los que ha pasado desde entonces.

Antología poética

In this impressive 'verse legend' Espronceda creates an original interpretation of the famous Don Juan legend whereby he produces a Romantic 'counter-text' which gives voice to what we now recognise as a central part of the modern philosophical condition: the Romantic vision of an all-pervasive cosmic injustice.

In this impressive 'verse legend' Espronceda creates an original interpretation of the famous Don Juan legend whereby he produces a Romantic 'counter-text' which gives voice to what we now recognise as a central part of the modern philosophical condition: the Romantic vision of an all-pervasive cosmic injustice. Professor Cardwell, in his introduction, shows how in the person of Felix de Montemar, Espronceda has created one of Europe's first rebellious literary heroes, standing alone, noble and defiant, in the face of all the evil and pain in the world. Thus Espronceda takes his place alongside other major European Romantic writers; Byron, Lermontov, Heine, Vigny, Leopardi and Mickiewitz; expressing, as they do, man's existential protest, noblest ideals and his modern sense of human condition which directly informs our own twentieth century literary achievements. Davies' meticulous translation of this poem, mirroring the metrical and stylistic virtuosity of Espronceda's original, presents it for the first time to English readers, since its composition 150 years ago.
