Sidelights on Contemporary Criticism of Góngora's Polifemo
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2020
Extract
Four seventeenth-century commentaries on the Polifemo are known to students of Góngora. Two of these are still unpublished: Annotaciones y deffensas al… Polifemo by Pedro Díaz de Rivas, the first commentary to be made of the poem, and the unfinished Notas al Polifemo by Andres Cuesta. The other two were published in Madrid a few years after Góngora's death: El Polifemo de Don Luis de Góngora comentado (1629) by Garcia de Salcedo Coronel and Lecciones solemnes a las obras de Don Luis de Góngora y Argote (1630) by José Pellicer de Salas y Tovar.
