«Diálogo de la Lengua» is the philological dialogue by Juan de Valdés, published by Austral in paperback (228 pages, in Spanish).
Composed in Naples around 1535-1536, «Diálogo de la Lengua» brings together four characters who converse about the use and origin of Castilian in the sixteenth century. Valdés defends an ideal of naturalness, simplicity and precision, attentive to the spoken language and everyday usage. The work also responds to the «questione della lingua» and to the Italian public's interest in Spanish.
Diálogo de la Lengua was published after the death of Juan de Valdés. This edition from Clásicos Castellanos includes an introduction and notes by José F. Montesinos.
For students of Spanish literature and readers interested in the history of the language and the Golden Age.
Juan de Valdés was a Spanish religious writer and Catholic reformer.
