Arthur Terry: A Companion to Catalan Literature.
-Tamesis Books (22 May 2003)-
Coleccion Tamesis: Serie A, Monografias 193. First Uk edition. vii+172 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket. This book is the only one of its kind in English. Part literary history, part literary criticism, it is above all a personal assessment of a rich and important body of work which is still not widely known outside Catalonia. Catalan literature, one of the three major Peninsular literatures, reached an impressive level of excellence in the middle ages, beginning with Ramon Llull and the chronicles, and culminating in the two great fifteenth-century writers, the poet Ausias March and Joanot Martorell, the author of "Tirant lo Blanc", one of the landmarks in early prose fiction. After three centuries of relative eclipse, the nineteenth-century Renaixenca produced a distinctive version of Romanticism with notable achievements in poetry, theatre and the novel. More recently, Catalan writers have successfully assimilated a number of international tendencies, from Symbolism to Surrealism, while remaining deeply aware of the possibilities of the Catalan language itself.
