• Sommario/riassunto: "Although Northrop Frye's first book, Fearful Symmetry (1947), elevated the reputation of William Blake from the status of a minor eccentric to that of a major Romantic poet, Frye in fact saw Blake as a poet (and, consequently, himself as a critic) not of the Romantic period, but of the Renaissance. As such, Frye's meditations on the Renaissance are particularly valuable. This volume collects six of Frye's notebooks and five sets of his typed notes on subjects related to Renaissance literature." "Michael Dolzani divides these notes into three categories: those on Spenser and the epic tradition; those on Shakespearean drama and, more widely, the dramatic tradition from Old Comedy to the masque; and those on lyric poetry and non-fiction prose. The organization of this volume reflects the comprehensive study of Renaissance symbolism in three volumes that Frye proposed to the Guggenheim Foundation in 1949. Frye received a Guggenheim fellowship, but never completed this work; nevertheless, his application, part of which is also included here, is an important document. It not only reveals the outlines of Frye's thinking about literature, it also uncovers his plans for his future creative life during the crucial period between his completion of Fearful Symmetry and his absorption in the writing of Anatomy of Criticism." "In addition to providing insight into Frye's thinking process, the material collected here is of unique importance because much of it touches on topics not fully explored in his other published works."--Jacket

• Sommario/riassunto: » Pertenece la historia de al-Andalus a la historia de España? » Qué relaciones cabe establecer entre ellas? Una fuerte corriente historiográfica puso el acento, en el siglo xx, en la hispanización de al-Andalus, convertido así en «España musulmana» y habitado por españoles que, por azares de la historia, eran musulmanes. En tiempos más recientes, esa tradición, de marcado carácter esencialista, se ha visto superada por interpretaciones qué sitúan al-Andalus en un contexto más definido por elementos magrebíes y orientales qué por los propiamente hispánicos. En este libro se plantea una revisión de la historiografía española, francesa y portuguesa sobre la historia de al-Andalus, desde una mirada crítica qué abarca otros temas igualmente centrales para la comprensión de un fenómeno histórico qué ha generado y continúa generando polémica. En torno a la reivindicación o la repulsa de lo andalusí, se han creado paradigmas culturales de gran potencia, se han marcado líneas divisorias y áreas de contacto o de conflicto. Todo ello no puede eliminarse de un plumazo o contemplarse con una mirada desdeñosa: forma parte de un pasado qué todavía hoy solivianta a muchos, mientras qué atrae a otros, lo qué quiere decir qué su actualidad sigue vigente.
