Review Quotes
Philip G. Johnston, University College Dublin
"This handsome, hardback tome, with its most appropriate and sumptuous front cover depicting Rubens’ Cain Slaying Abel sets matters right [on Machado’s 'Proverbios y cantares'] . . . This splendid book . . . shows that the finite inquiry into the works of Antonio Machado is far from being exhausted. This text is a serious and welcome contribution to that process."
Paul H. Cahill, Pomona College
"Fernández-Medina’s thorough and well-researched study places the spotlight on a largely unexplored facet and corpus of Antonio Machado’s poetic production, namely his shorter, more proverbial texts . . . [The Poetics of Otherness] will surely be an excellent resource for students and scholars of Spanish literature as well as those interested in gaining a thorough understanding of the philosophical, intellectual and social climate in which Machado wrote his poetry."
Reyes Vila-Belda, Indiana University
"En la copiosísima bibliografía sobre la obra de Antonio Machado, 'Proverbios y cantares' es, con diferencia, la parte menos estudiada. De ahí que el presente estudio sea una contribución que se suma a los escasos trabajos, algunos recientes. . . con el propósito de corregir esta laguna. . . Acierta [Fernández-Medina] en aproximarse a los 'Proverbios y cantares' interesándose por el problema del otro."
