Luis de Gongora is Spain's greatest poet of the Baroque period. He was much admired by Lorca, and Roy Campbell described him as 'a symbolist who contains the whole of Mallarme and a lot more besides, a symbolist three hundred years before his time'. Michael Smith's translations, in this first English bilingual edition, fluently and accurately convey the timeless qualities of Gongora's intricate and intriguing poetry.
