Description
The Dantesque political allegory The Labyrinth of Fortune, composed in 1444 by Juan de Mena, reflects on Juan II of Castile’s contentious kingship and frames the Reconquest of Moorish territories as a sacred task. This is the first English translation of a Spanish masterpiece that influenced Miguel Cervantes and Luis de Góngora.
