This revised edition, with the Spanish text added, was published by Cambridge University Press in 1965. In the first place, Góngora is 'difficult', and therefore, fifty students first embarking on the study were glad of the help with 'meaning' which an English version provides. But Professor Wilson's is a translation in the full sense of the word, not just a crib. Its verse follows the varied movement and elaborate structure of the original, and creates an English equivalent of the musical qualities of the Spanish. It gives pleasure of a high order as well as understanding, and was one of the few English versions of the time which approached the status of art. It was therefore of importance for students of translation itself.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eFrontispiece: Don Luis de Góngora, by Velasquez\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e [Dedicatoria] Al Duque de Béjar\u003cbr\u003e Soledad primera\u003cbr\u003e Soledad segunda\u003cbr\u003e Notes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20general%20%5BDSB%5D%22\"\u003eDSB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006731538712,"sku":"9780521157827","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521157827i_8e66333a-a4d4-4245-8283-252e9215356b.jpg?v=1691372798","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-solitudes-of-don-luis-de-gongora-a-text-with-verse-translation-paperback-9780521157827","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
