A New History of Spanish Literature
First published in 1961, A New History of Spanish Literature has been a much-used resource for generations of students. The book has now been completely revised and updated to include extensive discussion of Spanish literature of the past thirty years. Richard E. Chandler and Kessel Schwartz, both longtime students of the literature, write authoritatively about every Spanish literary work of consequence. From the earliest extant writings though the literature of the 1980s, they draw on the latest scholarship. Unlike most literary histories, this one treats each genre fully in its own section, thus making it easy for the reader to follow the development of poetry, the drama, the novel, other ...

Dictionary of Spanish Literature
The primary aim of the Dictionary of Spanish Literature is to serve as a convenient reference work for American students of Spanish and Spanish American literature. The treatment is concise, factual and objective, the endeavor being to present a maximum of data with a modicum of critical commentary, and to make the latter representative rather than subjective. Within the given limits, the coverage includes the great anonymous masterpieces, the major and minor novelists, poets, dramatists, essayists and literary critics, both of Spain and of Spanish America. Also included are eminent Spanish literary scholars as well as outstanding Hispanists of other countries, but especially those of the United States. Wherever pertinent, the interrelationships of Spanish literature with that of other countries are treated in appropriate detail. The entire dictionary is thoroughly cross-referenced with respect to titles of representative works, famous literary characters and pseudonyms of authors.
A Guide to Spanish Literature in Translation
There's more to Spanish literature than Don Quixote. In addition to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's immortal classic, Spain produced the earliest evidence of works in a Romance dialect, debuted the picaresque genre, and introduced the Don Juan figure to the world. This guide analyzes the merits and shortcomings of nearly 300 English translations of 100 major works of Spanish literature in poetry, prose, and theater. Each entry summarizes the importance of the author and the work; discusses elements of the translations such as the source text, formats, supplementary material, and translators' methodology; and provides commentary that evaluates the fidelity and readability of the translations and the utility of the supplementary material.

Black Voices in Early Modern Spanish Literature, 1500-1750
In this groundbreaking study, Diana Berruezo-Sánchez recovers key chapters in the history of Afro-Iberian diasporas by exploring the literary contributions and life experiences of black African communities and individuals in early modern Spain. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, international trade involving chattel slavery led to significant populations of enslaved, free(d), and half-manumitted black African women, men, and children in the Iberian Peninsula. These demographic changes transformed Spain's urban and social landscapes. In exploring Spain's role in the transatlantic slave trade and its effects on cultural forms of the period, Berruezo-Sánchez examines a broad rang...
Nine Centuries of Spanish Literature (Dual-Language)
This rich sampling of Spanish poetry, prose, and drama includes more than seventy selections from the works of more than forty writers, from the anonymous author of the great medieval epic The Poem of the Cid to such 20th-century masters as Miguel de Unamuno. The original Spanish text of each work appears with an excellent English translation on the facing page. The anthology begins with carefully selected passages from such medieval classics as The Book of Good Love by the Archpriest of Hita and Spain's first great prose work, the stories of Count Lucanor by Juan Manuel. Works by writers of the Spanish Renaissance follow, among them poems by the Marqués de Santillana and excerpts from the ...
