His informative introduction places the thirty-five selected poets within a literary and historical context that spans four centuries (1521-1910). This accomplished translation is the work of the young Samuel Beckett, just out of Trinity College, who had been awarded a grant by UNESCO to collaborate with Paz on the project.Notable among the writers who appear in this anthology are Bernardo de Balbuena (1561-1627), a master of the baroque period who celebrated the exuberant atmosphere and wealth of the New World; Juan Ruíz de Alarcón (1581?-1639), who became one of Spains great playwrights; and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651-1695), the beautiful nun whose passionate lyric poetry, written within her convents walls, has made her, three hundred years later, a proto-feminist literary heroine.This is a major collection of Mexican poetry from its beginnings until the modern period, compiled and translated by two giants of world literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52109742375200,"sku":"NEW0802151868","price":13.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51_J-du3jkL._SL1200_QL70.jpg?v=1785991230","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mexican-poetry-an-anthology-0802151868","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
