Modern Minstrelsy: Miguel Hernandez and Jacques Brel

By Carole A. Holdsworth

Modern Minstrelsy Miguel Hern ndez and Jacques Brel is an analogy study of two contemporary writers, the Spanish poet Miguel Hern ndez and the Belgian chansonnier Jacques Brel. Through the tracing of universal thematic parallels in their work, Modern Minstrelsy discusses the poetry of Hern ndez and Brel as affined examples of both a socially oriented contemporary humanism and of a modernized medieval minstrel tradition. Modern and medieval, personal and didactic, violent and tender, the poetry of Hern ndez and of Brel proclaims the poet's serious societal responsibilities, as spokesman for and about our communal nature.
