Edición de María Teresa Ruestes con la colaboración de Antonio Ramajo y José Solís de los Santos.Fernando de Herrera publicó relativamente poco y es recordado sobre todo por su propia colección poética, Algunas obras (1582), dechado de precision clasicista y exquisitez lirica. Admiradores y amigos de Herrera, encabezados por el pintor Francisco Pacheco, publicaron en 1619 un grueso volumen de Versos del sevillano, muchos de ellos ineditos.La presente edicion para la BCRAE sigue el volumen impreso en 1582, del que se han cotejado todos los ejemplares conocidos, incluido uno que contiene correcciones manuscritas del propio autor. Se estudian asimismo las diferencias entre esa edicion y la postuma (1619), para otorgarle a esta ultima mayor relevancia autorial de la que se le habia reconocido; se han tenido en cuenta tambien los manuscritos conservados, en especial uno de 1578 con abundantes poesias no recogidas en los impresos, y el conjunto se completa con cuatro poemas latinos de juventud.El resultado es una edicion cuidada al detalle que se erige en interpretacion integral de una de las cimas indiscutibles de la poesia amatoria, elegiaca y heroica del Siglo de Oro.

Dealers ChoiceI feel its my duty to proclaim it from the rooftops: this is it, this is the play that will remind you, at the end of a year that has contained too few stand-out new-writing hits and far too many musicals, why we go to the theatre - and just how good it can get.TelegraphCloserPatrick Marbers searing follow-up to Dealers Choice establishes him as the leading playwright of his generation.Independent on SundayOne of the best plays of sexual politics in the language: it is right up there with Williamss Streetcar, Mamets Oleanna, Albees Virginia Woolf, Pinters Old Times and Hares Skylight.Sunday TimesHoward KatzAfter Dealers Choice (1995), his gripping study of self-destructive gamblers, and Closer (1997), a thrilling account of love, sex and betrayal, this third instalment of his trilogy set in contemporary London tackles the biggest themes of all - life, death, God and the human soul. Its great to see a contemporary dramatist wrestling with such material.TelegraphDon Juan in SohoOne of the foremost dramatic chroniclers of modern British life. Line by line, this is the best written of all Marbers plays. You want to hang around its phrases (how often does that happen in the theatre?): hardly a minute passes without a satirical swipe, a gutsy joke.ObserverThe Red LionMarber, in this riveting new piece, uses the world of non-league, semi-pro football to explore issues of trust and loyalty and the larger division between individual ambition and the collective ethic. If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right. Guardian

Drift erzahlt von der Unmoglichkeit des Schreibens, vom Mysterium der Kreativitat, von der Besessenheit, das Jetzt auf dem Papier einfangen zu wollen.

Fasziniert von den Werken von Rainer Maria Rilke, Robert Walser oder Chantal Akerman spaziert sie, fotografiert die Bewohnenden und Streuner ihres Viertels und halt ihre Gedanken in einem gelben Notizbuch fest. Sie will schreiben, aber immer wird sie abgelenkt.Dann wird sie schwanger mit ihrem ersten Kind und dieser Zustand verleiht ihrem Denken und Schreiben plotzlich eine neue Dringlichkeit. Sie findet eine literarische Form fur ihre intellektuellen Spaziergange, eine Sprache, die beschreiben will, was es heit, in einem Korper herumzulaufen und wie es gelingen konnte, die Textur eines Gefuhls festzuhalten. Als ihre Tochter zur Welt kommt, beendet sie das Buch und gibt ihm den Titel Drift.Was ist eine Drift? Vielleicht eine Art Form.

Edición, estudio y notas de Juan Casas RigallJuan de Mena (Córdoba, 1411-Torrelaguna, 1456) fue testigo de excepción de las vicisitudes políticas y culturales en la corte castellana de Juan II y protagonizo un proceso que pocos autores han podido arrogarse: la creacion de una nueva lengua poetica, constituida en modelo indiscutible durante mas de medio siglo, en el transito de la Edad Media al Renacimiento.Conservamos una cincuentena larga de composiciones poeticas de Mena, entre las que descuellan las tres grandes visiones alegoricas: la Coronacion a Don Iñigo Lopez de Mendoza, con un cumplido comentario en prosa del propio autor; la obra maestra, el Laberinto de Fortuna, y el inconcluso Debate de la Razon contra la Voluntad. Tampoco faltan ejemplos de los otros cauces señeros del tiempo: composiciones amorosas, poesia laudatoria, piezas de disputa literaria o versos burlescos. Desde mediados del Cuatrocientos, los principales cancioneros acogieron su obra y Mena se convirtio, a finales de siglo, en el primer poeta clasico español.La edicion de Juan Casas Rigall para la Biblioteca Clasica de la Real Academia Española edita la totalidad de su obra poetica conocida y de plausible atribucion, sometida a un minucioso analisis critico de la tradicion textual (manuscrita, incunable e impresa posterior), en algunos casos muy copiosa y compleja, y acompañada de una contextualizacion y una anotacion que restituyen la singularidad del empeño poetico, intelectual y politico de Juan de Mena, de tan elevados horizontes en su tiempo.
