Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating realm of Spanish popular poetry, exploring its unique characteristics and its distinction from intellectual poetry. The author contends that Spanish folk songs, born from the heart of the people, possess an unparalleled beauty and truthfulness. Through a close examination of rhyme, metre, and form, the author demonstrates how Spanish popular poetry deviates from traditional literary conventions. The use of assonance instead of rhyme, the prevalence of the cuarteta and seguidilla stanzas, and the disregard for strict grammatical structures all contribute to the distinctive flavour of these folk songs. Furthermore, the book delves into the thematic depth of Spanish popular poetry, exploring themes of love, loss, nature, and the human condition. The author highlights the raw emotions and unfiltered experiences expressed in these songs, showcasing the soul of the Spanish people. By shedding light on the artistic merit and cultural significance of Spanish popular poetry, this book invites readers to appreciate the profound wisdom and beauty found within this rich tradition.
