Description

This bilingual edition of the Three Spanish Querelle Texts is very well-conceived and will attract a wide audience among specialists and non-specialists alike. Francomano provides the first modern English translations of texts that enjoyed European-wide celebrity in the early sixteenth century. Her introduction is the best available summary of our knowledge about Torrellas' two texts and Flores' Grisel y Mirabella. Her translations are more readable than the Spanish texts, dividing Flores' elaborate, rambling sentences into more comprehensible discourse. She often captures the tone of ambiguous or mock sincerity in the pleadings of both Flores' and Torrellas' characters. Francomano has a special sensitivity to the ludic quality of these discourses which helps readers appreciate their expression of "male anxiety" and "female agency" in the gender politics of their era.

About the Author
Emily C. Francomano is Associate Professor of Spanish at Georgetown University, where she also teaches in the Medieval Studies and Comparative Literature programs. She is the author of Wisdom and Her Lovers in Medieval and Early Modern Hispanic Literature (2008) as well as articles on Carcel de amor, the Libro de buen amor, Castilian vernacular Bibles, and medieval romance (Catalan, French, and Spanish).

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
