El primer siglo de la literatura española

Throughout the centuries, human beings have experimented with the aesthetic and expressive possibilities of language, and have put them at the service of the primordial dimension of daily life and the history of peoples through the art of storytelling. In this essential work, Francisco Rico explores various medieval genres to understand the roots of Spanish literature. His story is not unequivocal or linear; Forms such as the troubadour song, the epic songs or didactic poetry flourished as a result of direct contact with other traditions. Our literature grew from the beginning linked to other cultures. The first century of Spanish literature is an exhaustive analysis of the way in which the primary and universal attitudes of human beings are reflected in the development of our lyrics and allow us to understand their most uncertain origins.
