On the Edge of the River Sar

This book presents the first complete English translation of En las orillas del Sar, the final volume of poetry by Spanish nineteenth-century writer Rosalía de Castro (1837–1885). Using a framework grounded in socio-historical contextualization and feminist translation theory, the book divides the poems into the following themes: authorship, fertility, Galicia as mother/fatherland, motherhood, passion, resistance, and subjectivity.
