«Antología poética» is the poetry anthology by Luis de Góngora y Argote, published by Orbis in 1983 in hardback (203 pages, in Spanish).
The selection covers the variety of Góngora's poetry: from popular romances and letrillas to the learned lyric that culminates in the Soledades. The edition, prepared by Claudio Feliu, reflects how his language transformed Golden Age poetry and how the Soledades sparked a long controversy until its vindication in 1927.
Historia de la Literatura Española collection, no. 67. Edited by Claudio Feliu. Published in Barcelona.
Aimed at students of Spanish literature and readers seeking an anthology to discover Góngora's poetry.
Luis de Góngora y Argote was a Spanish Baroque lyric poet and a Catholic priest at Córdoba Cathedral. Góngora and his lifelong rival, Francisco de Quevedo, are widely considered the most prominent Spanish poets of all time. His style is characterized by what was called culteranismo, also known as Gongorismo. This style apparently existed in stark contrast to Quevedo's conceptismo, though Quevedo was highly influenced by his older rival from whom he may have isolated "conceptismo" elements.
