Bücher von Luis de Góngora

Wrenched from civilization and its attendant madness, the desolate hero is transported into a natural world that is at once menacing and sublime, this captures the breathtaking beauty of a work that represents one of the high points of poetic achievement in any language.

Recognising the need for a convenient edition of Gongora for English readers and students, this 1942 collection contains a selection which, in addition to showing Gongora's versatility and experimentation in verse forms, makes available several poems to be read for their music, beauty, and simple yet artificial charm.
