Las múltiples miradas en la poesía de Quevedo

In Quevedo’s poetic corpus, the function of the sight conforms to a great variety of themes, registers and perspectives and we can distinguish two basic typologies: one, with a rhetorical nature, is based on the argumentative schemes of evidentia; the other, with a thematic character, presupposes the elaboration of topical motifs through ingenious puns. Besides being important compositional techniques, strategies of visualization are also a way to contemplate the world through literary memories and establish a peculiar intertextual dialogue with the authors of the past.
