«El mirall de Narcís», an essay by Maria Àngels Anglada on the Greek myth in Catalan poetry, published by AUSA in hardback (123 pages, in Catalan).
The book analyses how the myth of Narcissus, from the classical tradition, is reflected and transformed in Catalan poetry; it pays attention to Greco-Latin sources and to interpretations by various poets, and shows the persistence of the character as a mirror of lyric creation.
The essay was published in 1988 and is number 7 in the Orientalia Barcinonensia collection; it includes a final bibliography (pages 119-121).
It will interest readers of literary criticism and those studying the classical tradition in Catalan literature.
