Rimas y leyendas / Rhymes and Legends

Gustavo Adolfo Becquer

Los mejores libros jamas escritos.
Podra no haber poetas; pero siempre habra poesia.

Las Rimas de Becquer son hoy la mas conocida de las colecciones poeticas del siglo XIX. Exponente de una lirica incomoda en el corse romantico y casi modernista, estos poemas breves deben su liviandad a un esforzado trabajo de depuracion estilistica. A su vez, las Leyendas son narraciones fantasticas de tono intimista y lugubre, basadas en su mayoria en relatos populares, y suponen una de las producciones mas representativas del posromanticismo de nuestro pais.

El catedratico emerito en literatura espanola de la Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia Enrique Rull firma la introduccion, las actividades finales y las notas que acompanan al lector a lo largo del volumen. Desde la semblanza de Becquer hasta el analisis de su poetica y el estudio de las fuentes de las que bebe su narrativa, la presente edicion, que incluye asimismo las Cartas literarias a una mujer, resulta imprescindible para el estudio pormenorizado de esta obra cumbre de las letras hispanicas.

Enrique Rull, professor emeritus in Spanish Literature at the National University of Distance Learning, has signed the introduction, the final activities, and the notes that accompany the reader throughout the volume. From the biographical sketch of Becquer to the analysis of his poetics and the study of the sources from which his narrative
