"In her Introduction, Xon de Ros mentions her intention to confront the challenge of combining what Machado termed 'saber erudito, noticioso y libresco' (14) with a close reading of individual poems, and her hope that she will be able to offer 'new perspectives and vantage points from which to reconsider the varied landscapes of [Machado's] poetry' (15). She has acquitted herself brilliantly on both counts." -- Jordi Larios, Bulletin of Spanish Studies "Beyond imparting considerable knowledge of Machado, aesthetics, modernism, postmodernism and recent approaches in literary studies ranging from ecopoetics to translation theory, The Poetry of Antonio Machado: Changing the Landscape - as the book's title advertises - makes its most important contribution by altering the way in which we approach Machado's poetry. Specialists and advanced students alike would do as well to read De Ros's textual analyses of Machado as they would to follow her lead in reading between the lines of Machado studies, thereby disturbing the status quo and remapping the field of inquiry." -- Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies "Xon de Ros offers a demanding yet stimulating rereading of Machado . Her command of Machado's oeuvre is total, her commentaries sure, he readings of the poems incisive and subtle." -- Richard A Cardwell, Times Literary Supplement.
