Description


To mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Cantares gallegos (Vigo, 1863), Mª Pilar García Negro has produced an up-to-date edition, with new, realistic analysis, of the work she describes as a landmark of contemporary Galician literature.

‘The book is an attempt to make sense of Rosalía and Cantares – to take them out of the museum,’ writes García Negro. ‘Illustrated feminism hand in hand with social conscience; love and passionate defence of Galicia; total commitment to the common people. These are the principles that fuelled Rosalía’s idea of Galicia.’
