Download or read book Six Masters of the Spanish Sonnet written by Willis Barnstone and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With poems selected and translated by one of the preeminent translators of our day, this bilingual collection of 112 sonnets by six Spanish-language masters of the form ranges in time from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries and includes the works of poets from Spanish America as well as poets native to Spain. Willis Barnstone's selection of sonnets and the extensive historical and biographical background he supplies serve as a compelling survey of Spanish-language poetry that should be of interest both to lovers of poetry in general and to scholars of Spanish-language literature in particular. Following an introductory examination of the arrival of the sonnet in Spain and of that nation's poetry up to Francisco de Quevedo, Barnstone takes up his six masters in chronological turn, preceding each with an essay that not only presents the sonneteer under discussion but also continues the carefully delineated history of Spanish-language poetry. Consistently engaging and informative and never dull or pedantic, these essays stand alone as appreciations--in the finest sense of that word--of some of the greatest poets ever to write. It is, however, Barnstone's subtle, musical, clear, and concise translations that form the heart of this collection. As Barnstone himself says, "In many ways all my life has been some kind of preparation for this volume."

This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called by her contemporaries the "Tenth Muse," Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648–1695) has continued to stir both popular and scholarly imaginations. While generations of Mexican schoolchildren have memorized her satirical verses, only since the 1970s has her writing received consistent scholarly attention., focused on complexities of female authorship in the political, religious, and intellectual context of colonial New Spain. This volume examines those areas of scholarship that illuminate her work, including her status as an iconic figure in Latin American and Baroque letters, popular culture in Mexico and the United States, and feminism. By addressing the multiple frameworks through which to read her work, this research guide serves as a useful resource for scholars and students of the Baroque in Europe and Latin America, colonial Novohispanic religious institutions, and women’s and gender studies. The chapters are distributed across four sections that deal broadly with different aspects of Sor Juana's life and work: institutional contexts (political, economic, religious, intellectual, and legal); reception history; literary genres; and directions for future research. Each section is designed to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the current state of the research on those topics and the academic debates within each field.

Download or read book English to Spanish Translations for Contemporary Conversation written by Scott Paulson and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-26 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So maybe you've seen a person around that you'd like to get to know. However, without knowing some basic Spanish as well as the English you know, you realize that getting to know the person isn't going to happen comfortably. Perhaps you would like to get to know a person at work better by being able to make comments and even have a simple conversation in Spanish, even though you haven't learned the second language or are still in the infancy stages of learning it. Maybe there is a group at your local fast food joint or bar that speaks in Spanish and you'd like to have more interactions with them. However, you need to learn some Spanish translations or, at least, refresh your language skills before comfortably communicating with others. Of course, attempting to make yourself known to a Spanish speaker who just happens to catch your eye might be the reason you want to learn the second language. Regardless of the reasons you want or need to communicate with someone beyond your first language, this book has the most-often used Spanish and English words and phrases for you to begin communicating and continue communicating with others in their language. Through your continued ongoing interactions with them, you can work your way toward fluency in the second language. In the first part of this book, universal greetings, introductions, and conversation starters are presented - first in English and then in Spanish. Then, many lists of the most common words one may need to know to communicate with others follows the same pattern of being presented in English first and then in Spanish. The word lists are presented in categories, such as people, occupations, clothes, and transportation. By categorizing the words, it assists learners in finding the words and phrases they are specifically wanting or needing to learn. Additionally, studying one category at a time is an effective method of learning new vocabulary. The words and phrases in this book are translated to the Spanish language most-often used in Mexico and other Latin American countries as opposed to the Spanish language that may be spoken in other parts of the globe. Near the end of the book, explanations as to how Spanish words are pronounced are available. The great thing about learning to speak Spanish is that it is a relatively simple language for English speakers to pronounce. This is because, in most cases, a Spanish word is pronounced the way it is written. Therefore, if you can read and speak English, you can likely pronounce Spanish words as they are written. Basically, every letter in a Spanish word gets one sound. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. That is why information regarding the speaking of Spanish from the written word - phonics - is offered in this book. Phonics and accentuation involved in speaking Spanish is discussed. Besides speaking with many people who speak Spanish as their first or only language, this book has been prepared with the assistance of numerous translation websites and programs that are designed to teach the Spanish language. Many of the Spanish speakers have been students in the author's English classes through the years. Additionally, research regarding the many aspects of conversation, from the phrases people use when meeting one another to the most common words generally used in conversations, has been administered in the writing this book. Finally, be forewarned that two translated sections of the book have some offensive language. These sections are "Sexual Encounters" and "Informal Expressions and Words." The sections have been included to make the book marketable to those who are interested in learning street language, which often includes offensive words and phrases. If such language offends you, please read these two sections with caution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early Modern Grotesque: English Sources and Documents 1500-1700 offers readers a large and fully annotated collection of primary source texts addressing the grotesque in the English Renaissance. The sources are arranged chronologically in 120 numbered items with accompanying explanatory Notes. Each Note provides clarification of difficult terms in the source text, locating it in the context of early modern English and Continental discourses on the grotesque. The Notes also direct readers to further English sources and relevant modern scholarship. This volume includes a detailed introduction surveying the vocabulary, form and meaning of the grotesque from its arrival as a word, concept and aesthetic in 16th century England to its early maturity in the 18th century. The Introduction, Items and Notes, complemented by illustrations and a comprehensive bibliography, provide an unprecedented view of the evolving complexity and diversity of the early modern English grotesque. While giving due credit to Wolfgang Kayser and Mikhail Bakhtin as masters of grotesque theory, this ground-breaking book aims to provoke new, evidence-based approaches to understanding the specifically English grotesque. The textual archive from 1500-1700 is a rich and intriguing record that offers much to interested readers and researchers in the fields of literary studies, theatre studies and art history.
