Böcker av John A. Crow

Presents the best translations available - by such poets as Richard Franshawe, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Robert Southey, and many modern poets - of poems ranging from the eleventh century to the present to make this the most complete collection of both Spanish and Spanish American poetry in English translation.

This book on Latin American social and cultural developments, as well as politics and economics is revised and brought up to date with chapters on the great upheavals of the 1980s. The book received the Gold Medal of the Commonwealth Club of California for outstanding literary achievement.

This is the late John A. Crow's classic study of the cultural history of Spain and its people, which he last updated in 1985 but which seems as fresh and pertinent as when he first wrote it. Crow devoted a lifetime to Hispanic studies and here provides a historical interpretation of Spanish civilization from its earliest beginnings to the present. The scope of this study is remarkable and includes chapters on Roman Spain, the Jews in Spain, the Moors, life in medieval towns, and the Golden Age of Spain, plus a view of Franco's legacy.
