Love Poetry of Francisco De Quevedo

Klappentext This study of the poetry of Francisco de Quevedo combines a stylistic analysis with a philosophical interpretation in the broad sense. Zusammenfassung Francisco de Quevedo was known throughout seventeenth-century Europe as the author of two Spanish best-sellers, the picaresque novel El buscón, and the satirical Sueños.
