GONZALEZ GUTIERREZ, Iledys. Poetic Adventures. About Road and its Meanings in Medieval Castilian Poetry. UH [online]. 2018, n.285, pp. 183-196. ISSN 0253-9276.

Reading the fist tercet of the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri arouses a threefold interpretation of road and journey in the medieval Castilian poetry. Road as a poetic motif issues a guideline on telling the origin and formation of the Castilian poetry through its main authors: Gonzalo de Berceo, Juan Ruiz, Marquis of Santillana, Juan de Mena, and Jorge Manrique. The present study is divided on three main blocks: the "Peregrinatio vitae. Il cammino della vita" which bases on the phenomenon of Christian pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, a starting base of the peninsular medieval lyrics, in order to explain life metaphors; the "Rectitud. Diritta via", oriented towards the subject of death and its moral component; and "La selva selvaggia. La selva oscura", dedicated to an analysis of the 15th century Dante-inspired poetry, related to an allegoric topography associated to infernal travelling and punctual stylistic recurrences.

Palabras clave : Medieval Literature; Dantesque Poetry; Christianity; Castilian Poetic Tradition; Pilgrimage; The Medieval Imaginary; Poetic Sensitivity.
