"Volcanes florecidos": Quevedo's sonnet in the context of Quiñone's El monte Vesubio (1632)

Abstract

This paper proposes a reading of the sonnet «Salamandra frondosa y bien poblada» in its multiple context: thus, the poem is situated in its paratextual framework inside Quiñone’s El monte Vesubio in relation both to the story of the eruption and to the other poems, while it is connected to some Italian poems.
