Description
This bilingual edition of the Three Spanish Querelle Texts is very well-conceived and will attract a wide audience among specialists and non-specialists alike. Francomano provides the first modern English translations of texts that enjoyed European-wide celebrity in the early sixteenth century. Her introduction is the best available summary of our knowledge about Torrellas two texts and Flores Grisel y Mirabella. Her translations are more readable than the Spanish texts, dividing Flores elaborate, rambling sentences into more comprehensible discourse. She often captures the tone of ambiguous or mock sincerity in the pleadings of both Flores and Torrellas characters. Francomano has a special sensitivity to the ludic quality of these discourses which helps readers appreciate their expression of "male anxiety" and "female agency" in the gender politics of their era.
