Amor y guerra en la poesía de Jorge Manrique. Análisis del decir “Castillo de amor”

Abstract

Courtly love poetry from the 15th century has currently become one of the main fields of study of Medieval literature. Among the most prominent authors in this field is Jorge Manrique, author of 26 lyrical dits, and highly known for the Coplas a la muerte de su padre. This investigation proposes the study of the amplificatio resources as a constitutive element of the construction of the love discourse. The loving qualities of the lyrical lover are emphasized in the “Castillo de amor” dit through the repetitive use of the collatio occulta and the prosopopoeia, amplificatio techniques defined by Godofredo de Vinsauf in Poetria Nova.
