The Spanish Golden Age Sonnet

The Spanish Golden Age produced some of the most important works of poetry in Spain. This book offers the first single volume to collect lively translations of over a hundred of the finest sonnets of the Spanish Golden Age. The Spanish Golden Age Sonnet features detailed and incisive critical commentary on each of the poems, coupled with translated versions that are enjoyable not only as translations but as sonnets that stand alone. John Rutherford masterfully highlights dozens of poems that bring to life the dark beauty of the Spanish Golden Age.
