Brief description:

Translation of Góngora’s poem “Castillo de San Cervantes” and the ballad “Romance del rey Don Rodrigo”. It includes a reader’s letter, under the initials of T. C., who mentions issue 39 and the Spanish ballads published in this issue. He also mentions Georges Bernand Depping and Thomas Rodd. There is a very interesting reflection in a footnote about the problematic translation of the word “desengaño”.
