※　『わがシッドの歌』とロマンセ研究を牽引した碩学コリン・スミスに捧ぐ、叙事詩とバラッドの論集　※

本書は、スペイン叙事詩とロマンセ（バラッド）の研究に大きな足跡を残したコリン・スミス（Colin Smith）に、英国・スペイン・アメリカ合衆国の同僚、教え子、友人が捧げた記念論集です。編者ポウエル（Brian Powell）とウェスト（Geoffrey West）は、スミスの学問的関心の全体を一冊で扱うことは難しいと判断し、彼が校訂者・批評家として重要な影響を与えた叙事詩とロマンセの二分野に焦点を絞りました。スミスはケンブリッジ大学で学び、ゴンゴリスモの起源を論じた論文で博士号を取得し、リーズ大学で教育と研究に携わりました。1964年には伝承ロマンセの校訂版を刊行し、辞書編纂にも取り組んでいます。収録論文は、サモーラでのロマンセ採集、失われた叙事詩の問題、『わがシッドの歌』における呼びかけ、忠臣の主題、ミナヤの役割、形容詞の位置、二重の婚姻、人物造形、『サモーラ包囲の歌』との関係、テクストの成立を扱います。書籍の言語：英語　(SBC: 134400)

Description:
The essays in this volume are dedicated to Colin Smith by colleagues, pupils and friends from Britain, Spain and the United States of America. The contributions focus on the Spanish epie and bailad, two fields in which Colin has had an important influence as an editor and critic. We could not hope to do justice to the full range of Colin’s scholarly interests in a single volume like this. Hence, it was decided to concentrate on these two areas.

Colin Smith, Doctor of Letters, Corresponding Member of the Real Academia de la Lengua Española, Comendador de la Orden de Isabel La Católica, is an exemplary scholar and a gentleman. Brought up on the south coast of England, he took his first degree in 1950 at the University of Cambridge at St Catharine’s College, that ancient but discreet college between more illustrious neighbours. After his first degree, Colin remained at St Catharine’s for his doctoral studies. His thesis, ‘The Origins of Gongorism’, earned him a doctora te in 1954. By this time, he had become a lecturer at the University of Leeds where he was to stay for over a decade, rising through the ranks to a Senior Lectureship in a period of expansion in universities.

lt was at Leeds that Colin began to establish his reputation as an outstanding teacher and productive researcher. Generous to students with his time and his hospitality, he would offer them the chance to visit him and his wife, Ruth, at their home. As his experience grew, he was the ideal choice as Sub-Dean, a post he held for several years and which brought him closer than ever to students. He was al so a keen participant in the life of the Department, where certain new ballads in Spanish were to appear, featuring Colin amongst the protagonists, while he prepared his own edition of traditional Spanish ballads, which appeared in 1964. Prior to this, he had published a number of articles on Golden Age topics, and, then, in the 1960s, publications on the Spanish epie began to appear. It was also at Leeds that Colin’s interest in lexicography was able to grow and to bear early fruit in a publication for Harrap and in the edition of Langenscheidt’s bilingual dictionary in which he participated.
