His works reach dazzling rhetorical and linguistic heights.Góngora captured what he saw and perceived and then added verbal flourishes that make the world the micocosm and the word the macrocosm....Gifted and daring, Dent-Young attempts to produce translations that could stand on their own and that give Góngora a human voice."--Choice -- "Choice" (12/1/2007 12:00:00 AM) Review Quote "[This] translation will be a good introduction to English-speaking readers interested in one of the Baroques greatest poets. The selection gives such readers a good idea of Gngoras range, and the translations are readable while still reflecting the poets style."
