RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Sobre una traducción inglesa de una pieza temprana de la lírica española A1 Castillo Martín, Francisco Javier AB In a decided attempt to increase his family’s effective control onthose of the Canaries yet unconquered, the young and self-confidentGuillén Peraza led an expedition to La Palma in 1447 which endedtragically. The primitive but wise islanders based their defense on theroughness of La Palma and on their perfect knowledge of their homeland.The invaders, on the contrary, found themselves in a disadvantageousposition because of their uneasiness and lack of experience in arough and unknown soil and so they were defeated and had to retreat totheir ships. Many men died and, among them, the brave Peraza. Hisloss was sung by an anonymous poet in the famous Endechas, a splendidand moving dirge which is a major work in 15th century Spanishpoetry. Later, in 1764, George Glas published his English translation ofthis funeral elegy, which is studied in this paper. PB Servicio de Publicaciones.
