Abstract
-
The poetry of Garcilaso de la Vega (1501?-1536) was an immediate success in Spain, from the publication of the princeps, Obras de Boscan y algunas de Garcilasso de la Vega (Barcelona: Carles Amoros, 1543). This book is essential in the history of Spanish poetry, since it means the introduction of a new Renaissance literature in Spain. Nevertheless, it was believed that the princeps contained multiple mistakes. Many editions appeared soon after the princeps, and later; most of them claimed to improve the preceding ones with new changes and corrections, as those of El Brocense, Herrera and manuscripts as Mg (Lastanosa-Gayangos). Modern editors have generally maintained many of these emendations, or introduced their own, upholding that the princeps needed to be amended in many cases.;The purpose of this work is to study to what extent the 1543 edition reflects an autograph manuscript by Garcilaso, and analyze whether it contains as many errors as was thought. In order to do this, I have studied the textual tradition, the different kinds of emendations introduced by the editors, the historic, cultural and literary context known by Garcilaso, and some metric peculiarities (irregular stanzas, hypermetric verses, anomalous rhymes and use of hiatus), as well as non-metrical cases, that were corrected by editors or manuscripts' copyists.;As a result of the above mentioned studies it can be confirmed not only that the princeps contains the sole reliable text, but also that it presents a consistent metric and poetic system, an essential part of which is many of those verses corrected by the editors in the sixteenth and twentieth centuries.;The wide and flexible boundaries of Garcilaso's system were progressively narrowed by subsequent editors, who adjusted his metric and poetic criteria to those of the second half of the sixteenth century. This process of reduction is parallel to another constriction derived from the consideration of Garcilaso as a mere petrarchist, and from the romantic-biographical view applied to his works, which values the "sincere" love poetry and puts on a secondary level other themes and tones.
