En las bases de la convocatoria del Premio Reina Sofía de Poesía Iberoamericana se hace constar que el premiado recibe como parte del galardón la “edición de un volumen con una recopilación antológica de poemas del autor premiado, para divulgar su obra y sin finalidad lucrativa, que será publicado por Ediciones Universidad de Sala- manca”. Ese gran encargo, realizado por Patrimonio Nacional y la Universidad de Salamanca, comenzó en 1992 con la edición del libro Cinco visiones de Gonzalo Rojas que prologó la profesora Carmen Ruiz Barrionuevo. Mas con aquel poemario se inició una nueva etapa para Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca. En lo propiamente editorial dio origen a una co...
Pablo Neruda was without doubt one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century but his work is extremely uneven. There is a view that there are two Nerudas, an early Romantic visionary and a later Marxist populist, who denied his earlier poetic self. By focussing on the poet's apprenticeship, and by looking closely at how Neruda created his poetic persona within his poems, this Companion tries to establish what should survive of his massive output. By seeing his early work as self exploration through metaphor and sound, as well as through varieties of love and direct experience, the Companion outlines a unity behind all the work, based on voice and a public self. Neruda's debt to reading ...
A true story with a cast of characters and a plot worthy of John le Carré's Smiley novels 'A great story, with drama, betrayal and historical significance' Independence 'Frank and revealing ... a world of intrigue and betrayal ... A son's search for who his father really was.' Daily Telegraph In the 1930s Tom Burns was a rising star of British publishing, whose friends and authors included G. K.

This collection of essays, inspired by André Breton's concept of the limites non-frontières of Surrealism, focuses on the crossings, intersections and margins of the surrealist movement rather than its divides and exclusion zones. Some of the essays originated as papers given at the colloquium 'Surrealism: Crossings/Frontiers' held at the Institute of Romance Studies, University of London, in November 2001. Surrealism is foregrounded as a trajectory rather than a fixed body of doctrines, radically challenging the notion of frontiers. The essays explore real and imaginary journeys, as well as the urban dérives of the surrealists and situationists. The concept of crossing, central to a read...
De musas, aeroplanos y trincheras reúne veinte estudios sobre poesía y poetas españoles contemporáneos de los últimos cien años, desde el influjo de Juan Ramón Jiménez y Antonio Machado en los jóvenes poetas del 27 hasta el último libro de Lorenzo Oliván, Nocturno casi (2014). Responden a enfoques diversos: histórico unos, de carácter transversal (un tema, una tendencia estética o una característica de la época) otros. Algunos analizan una trayectoria o una obra individuales. En otras ocasiones, en fin, tratan del contexto condicionante del hecho poético. Pero todos responden a una identidad metodológica sustentada en algunas convicciones complementarias: la necesidad del rigor investigador en la búsqueda concienzuda y el contraste de los datos, el respeto del análisis textual al sentido literal y la necesidad de una exposición coherente y fluida que facilite el acceso del lector a la comprensión y al disfrute de la poesía.
