La mètrica catalana en les acadèmies i certàmens valencians del barroc

Abstract

In the 17th century, Castilian was the dominant language in Spain; Catalan texts played a subordinate role in the field of fiction. Only a very small percentage of the poems presented at the literary acadèmies and poetry competitions in València during the Baroque period are therefore written in Catalan. This study covers the underlying metric forms, the poets, and the literary functions of their poems.
