Rosalia de Castro Selected Poems rendered into English verse

Some of Rosalia's most famous poems are also presented in their original Castilian Spanish so that interested readers can compare De Castro's highly charged thoughts and phrases with Reid's interpretations. It is hoped that Rosalia's unique vision her firmly feminist outlook and her startling modernity have been well served.
