«Cartas marruecas; Noches lúgubres» is the 18th-century Spanish literature volume by José de Cadalso, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two titles by José de Cadalso. «Cartas marruecas» (1774) adopts the epistolary form to offer a critical look at 18th-century Spanish society through the exchange between a Moroccan, a Christian, and a Spaniard. «Noches lúgubres» (1771), written three years earlier, is considered a precursor of Romanticism and addresses death, solitude, and despair. The edition is based on a comparison of manuscripts and early editions.
The edition by Russell P. Sebold is part of the Letras Hispánicas collection and corresponds to the sixth edition.
It is suitable for students of Spanish literature and readers who want to approach Enlightenment prose and Spanish pre-Romanticism.
