Resumen de «The story of Leander and Hero», by Joan Roís de Corella (1435-1497): a multilingual edition of a classic from the Crown of Aragon

Antonio Cortijo Ocaña (ed. lit.), Josep Lluís Martos Sánchez (ed. lit.)

  • Joan Roís de Corella is one of the most renowned authors of fifteenth-century Catalan literature. His Story of Leander and Hero uses a well-known Vergilian and Ovidian motif of unremitting love that turns into tragedy. Corella retells the story adding to it a great dose of suspense and pathos and recasts it in the fashion of sentimental prose, a genre famous at the time and a clear precedent of the great narrative genre to flourish during the Renaissance in the Iberian Peninsula and Europe: the novel.
