Published with the help of the Subdirección General de Promoción del Libro, la Lectura y las Letras Españolas of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture.
This series 'is a most welcome contribution to the cause of making Spanish literature more widely available to non-Hispanists.' BHS All books are in Spanish with a facing English translation.
The introductions place
the work in context, both in the writer's literary circle and
in its historical background.
The original texts are
the result of careful scholarship and are often prepared especially
for these editions.
The new English translations
aim to be faithful to the original and 'offer a considerable
challenge to the translator, since the reader can easily compare
and contrast original and translation on their parallel pages.'
BHS.
The notes and commentaries,
often extensive, explain the difficulties and allusions in the
text.
Maps and illustrations
are included where appropriate to make our books as useful as
possible to the student, scholar and general reader.
