Trevor J. Dadson is a British Hispanist of international distinction whose remarkable scholarly range has resulted in a published output that embraces cultural, literary and social history, textual editing, literacy, book ownership and literary criticism. The twelve essays of the present volume pay tribute to his distinctive interventions in the field of Spanish poetry (early modern and contemporary); collectively they recognize the catalytic role of Professor Dadson's original research while opening up to dialogues beyond it, aiming to inspire new conversations around the topics he has inspired generations of scholars to pursue. Represented in the volume are former doctoralstudents, former colleagues and international collaborators, all of whom are also distinguished authorities in their fields. Javier Letran is Senior Lecturer in Spanish at the University of St Andrews. Isabel Torres is Professor of Spanish Golden Age Literature at Queen's University Belfast.
