Pountain explores a wide range of texts from poetry, through newspaper articles and political documents, to a Bunuel film script and a love letter.A History of the Spanish Language through Texts presents the formal history of the language and its texts in a fresh and original way. The book has user-friendly textbook features such as a series of keypoints and a careful indexing and cross-referencing system.
