The reader will find both his learned poetry, characterized by brilliant and metaphorical language, and his traditional lyrics with a burlesque tone. An essential volume for understanding the dual aspect of the Cordovan genius, from perfect amorous and mythological sonnets to popular letrillas, offering a complete vision of his literary legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work collects the poetic production of Luis de Góngora, which was not published during the author's lifetime and initially circulated in manuscripts and loose leaves. The edition is based on the first posthumous compilations, such as the \u003cem\u003eObras en verso del Homero español\u003c\/em\u003e (1627). The book is divided into two main areas: learned poetry, where \"culteranismo\" stands out with an elitist language that transforms reality through metaphors into a world of beauty; and traditional lyrics, of a burlesque nature, which stylize popular songs and refrains with Baroque resources such as antitheses and hyperboles. The sonnets address amorous, moral, and mythological themes, while the letrillas oscillate between the sentimental and the satirical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCulteran poetry and metaphorical language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAmorous, moral, and mythological sonnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional lyrics and burlesque tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBaroque stylization of popular poetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLiterary legacy of the Spanish Golden Age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and scholars of Spanish Golden Age literature, lovers of classical poetry, and readers interested in culteranismo and Góngora's work.
