A las narraciones en primera persona del pasado no siempre les viene bien el nombre de autobiografías. En los siglos anteriores a la definición del género, quienes escribían la historia de sus vidas con frecuencia utilizaban como modelo para sus narraciones los textos que gozaban de mayor prestigio, como la hagiografía, la historiografía y las misceláneas. Caballero noble desbaratado: Autobiografía e invención en el siglo XVI analiza un conjunto de narraciones españolas en primera persona y sus condiciones de escritura y recepción. Se concentra en el Libro de la vida y costumbres/i> de Alonso Enríquez de Guzmán (1499-1547), el caballero del título.
El estudio se abre con algunos antecedentes de esa obra central: el Memorial de Leonor López de Córdoba de fines del siglo XIV, que narra pasajes difíciles de su vida; la Breve suma de la vida y hechos de Diego García de Paredes, que cuenta duelos y batallas para dejar a su hijo una lección sobre el honor y el coraje; y Cautiverio y trabajos de Diego Galán, un relato de cautiverio entre musulmanes y posterior huida que nos propone un ejemplo temprano de autobiografía novelada. También se examina la influencia de escritores como Bartolomé de Torres Naharro, Antonio de Guevara y Pedro Mexía, así como vitalidad de la poesía lírica, culta y popular, en ambos lados del Atlántico.
Aunque Alonso Enríquez de Guzmán ha merecido una edición en la Biblioteca de Autores Españoles, nunca se le ha dedicado hasta hoy un libro. Este ensayo llena ese vacío, presenta lecturas novedosas de los autores escogidos y se constituye en un valioso aporte para el estudio de la autobiografía en lengua española.
First-person narrative does not always fall under the genre of autobiography. In the centuries before the genre was defined, authors often patterned their personal narratives after prestigious discourses, such as hagiography, historiography, and the literary miscellany. Caballero noble desbaratado: Autobiografía e invención en el siglo XVI analyzes several first-person narratives from Spain and the conditions of their writing and reception. It focuses on the sixteenth-century Libro de la vida y costumbres by Alonso Enríquez de Guzmán (1499-1547), the knight of the title.
One chapter looks at antecedents to the central work: the late fourteenth-century Memorial by Leonor López de Córdoba, who narrates difficult passages of her life; the Brief Summary of the Life and Deeds by Diego García de Paredes, who speaks of duels and battles as an object lesson in honor and courage for his son;and Cautiverio y trabajos by Diego Galán, a tale of captivity and flight in Muslim lands that constitutes an early example of fictionalized autobiography. The study also examines the influence of writers like Bartolomé de Torres Naharro, Antonio de Guevara, and Pedro Mexía and the vitality of lyric poetry on both sides of the Atlantic.
Although the Biblioteca de Autores Españoles has devoted a volume to Enríquez de Guzmán, there has never been a book-length study dedicated to this author. This book fills that gap and constitutes a valuable contribution to the study of autobiography in Spanish.
