Immerse yourself in the rich polyphony of 'Soledades' by Luis de Góngora, a work that demands attention and silence to be fully appreciated. This edition, belonging to the 'Clásicos Castalia' collection, includes an introduction and notes by Robert Jammes, facilitating the understanding of Góngora's complex poetic language. The author creates a new poetic language through vocabulary, syntax, and rhetoric, accompanied by an innovative metric that seeks a harmony between the form and the central idea of the poem. Far from the bustle, 'Soledades' invites you to follow it to its 'green cloister', a place of divine silence where you can try to listen to it.
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.
