Reviews

This book is not only an excellent piece of research, in the strictest sense of the word . . . but also one of those magnificent companions to medieval Spanish literature that we are used to seeing from Tamesis Books and which will delight both students and professors alike.

In sum, this is a well researched study that will undoubtedly appeal to scholars whose research focuses on Manrique's masterpiece as well as students who seek a guide to the poem's reception over the centuries.
