«Cantares gallegos» is the poetry collection by Rosalía de Castro, published by Cátedra in paperback (192 pages).
A foundational work of Galician poetry, published in 1863, in which Rosalía de Castro vindicates Galicia and its language from the nostalgia of one writing away from her homeland. Her verses portray landscapes, people, customs and folk songs, turning the collection into an apology for Galician identity.
Edition by Ricardo Carballo Calero in the Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 16). Includes a final glossary to help readers who do not speak Galician.
For readers of classical poetry and Spanish classics, as well as those interested in Galician literature.
María Rosalía Rita de Castro, was a Galician poet and novelist, considered one of the most important figures of the 19th-century Spanish literature and modern lyricism. Widely regarded as the greatest Galician cultural icon, she was a leading figure in the emergence of the literary Galician language. Through her work, she projected multiple emotions, including the yearning for the celebration of Galician identity and culture, and female empowerment. She is credited with challenging the traditional female writer archetype.
