He was deeply involved in the political turbulence of fifteenth-century Castile, playing an important role in bringing together Fernando of Aragon and the infanta Isabel of Castile whose marriage sealed the union of these two kingdoms. Although Don G mez has long rested in the shadow of his more famous nephew, Jorge, he produced a larger and more varied corpus of verse: courtly love poetry, elegies, moral and political poetry, verse dialogues with friends, consolatory poems and the first play by a known author in Spanish. This study focuses on the social, economic and political context in which the poet lived and draws comparisons with some other poets who were his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGis le Earle studied at the University of Oxford and King's College, London, and is now an independent researcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gis鑞e Earle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781885826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781885826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.39d","brand":"Gis鑞e Earle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941163827455,"sku":"9781781885826","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9419f94c-b94c-4ff3-a546-d6243722b572.jpg?v=1681451289","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/g-mez-manrique-statesman-and-gisle-earle-9781781885826","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
