Selected Poems of Garcilaso de la Vega by Garcilaso De La Vega
Garcilaso de la Vega (ca 1501-36) was a Castilian nobleman at the court of Charles V. As the first poet to make the Italian Renaissance lyric style at home in Spanish, he is credited with beginning the golden age of Spanish poetry. This title can help to explain to the English-speaking public this poet's preeminence.
"John Dent-Young has done something that I did not think possible: he has successfully rendered Garcilaso's verse in English in ways that capture its rhythm and grace, while at the same time conveying its sense with all the directness and elusiveness of the originalThis edition stands to become the point of entry into the work of this classic Spanish poet for readers of English." - Ricardo Padron, University of Virginia"
John Dent-Young is a freelance editor and translator who has also translated from Chinese. He was a lecturer in English at the Chinese University of Hong Kong for nearly twenty years. He is the editor and translator of Selected Poems of Luis de Gongora, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
