Las 'Coplas a la muerte de su padre' de Jorge Manrique son una elegía fúnebre escrita en memoria de su padre, el maestre de Santiago, don Rodrigo Manrique. Esta obra cumbre de la literatura española del siglo XV reflexiona sobre la fugacidad de la vida, la inevitabilidad de la muerte y el poder perdurable del recuerdo y la virtud. En esta edición de Edimat, se presenta como parte de la colección 'Clásicos de Siempre', ofreciendo una cuidada selección de textos esenciales para comprender la riqueza de la literatura clásica en lengua española.
Jorge Manrique was a major Castilian poet, whose main work, the Coplas por la muerte de su padre , is still read today. He was a supporter of the queen Isabel I of Castile, and actively participated on her side in the civil war that broke out against her half-brother, Enrique IV, when the latter attempted to make his daughter, Juana, crown princess. Jorge died in 1479 during an attempt to take the castle of Garcimuñoz, defended by the Marquis of Villena, after Isabel gained the crown.
