This edition of 'Coplas a la muerte de su padre' by Jorge Manrique, published by Literatura Pública, presents one of the author's most intense and penetrating works. Manrique, a pre-Renaissance Castilian poet and member of the House of Manrique de Lara, is considered one of the most important and influential classical authors of Castilian literature. This 44-page book offers a new edition of his burlesque and amorous poems, produced in Spain under Spanish law.
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.
