Artículo sobre Alan Deyermond en The Times

TIMES, Oct 20, 2009 Professor Alan Deyermond: Professor of Hispanic Studies Alan Deyermond was the most prominent scholar of medieval Hispanic literature of recent decades, not only in Britain but throughout Europe, Spain included, and the Americas. His abundant written work was known and keenly read in all these places. The enormous breadth and depth of Deyermond's research and publications covered practically all literary aspects of medieval Spanish writing and culture. This range was already apparent in his 1971 A Literary History of Spain: The Middle Ages, used by generations of university students and scholars in its English original and in its Spanish translation (Historia de la literatura española, I: La Edad Media), now in its 19th edition. His specialist areas within medieval Spanish studies were La Celestina (the subject of his Oxford postgraduate thesis, published as The Petrarchan Sources of "La Celestina" (1961 and, remarkably for such a dissertation, republished in a second edition in 1971), the epic (Epic Poetry and the Clergy: Studies on the "Mocedades de Rodrigo", 1969; El "Cantar de Mio Cid" y la épica medieval española, 1987), the sentimental novel (Tradiciones y puntos de vista en la ficción sentimental, 1993), lost literature (La literatura perdida de la Edad Media castellana: catálogo y estudio, I: épica y romances, 1995), and women's writing. In addition, Deyermond's three dozen sole-authored and edited books and almost 200 scholarly articles scrutinise all the major and many of the minor works that have survived from the Spanish Middle Ages. Alan David Deyermond was born in 1932 in Cairo. He was educated at Quarry Bank High School, Liverpool, Victoria College, Jersey, and Pembroke College, Oxford (BA 1953, BLitt 1957), Deyermond spent his entire academic career in the same department. He was appointed assistant lecturer at the moment when the Department of Spanish at Westfield College, University of London, was founded in 1955, as one of two members of staff (the other was John Varey). He therefore had to teach half the university syllabus in Spanish, giving classes in the history of the Spanish language, medieval literature and Golden Age poetry, as well as practical classes in Spanish. This teaching load clearly did not restrict his research output, and his growing string of publications led to a readership in 1966 and to a personal chair in 1969, at what was then the very early age of 37. For some years he commuted between Westfield and Princeton, teaching half the year at each, but he remained fiercely loyal to his home college, and transferred that loyalty to the new institution (now Queen Mary, University of London) that arose from the merger of Westfield College with Queen Mary College in 1989. That commitment did not diminish after retirement in 1997 and he was a familiar and active figure in the college right up to his death. Deyermond was not just a prolific researcher and author; he was also an enormously generous facilitator of other scholars' work, through his editorial and seminar-organising activities. He founded the Medieval Hispanic Research Seminar (MHRS) at Westfield in 1968, which since has attracted scholars from all over the world. Discussion at the Friday-afternoon sessions was typically continued at a restaurant, because Deyermond, a staunch vegetarian, believed that food, wine and fellowship (not to mention mild gossip) were as much part of the academic life as the study and the library. From MHRS sprang, in 1995, the Publications of the Medieval Hispanic Research Seminar, a series designed to cater for writing that was longer than a journal article but shorter than a conventional book. Most of the volumes, now numbering more than 60, were edited, and typeset, by Deyermond, an enormous labour of love for his subject and for the dissemination of work on the Spanish Middle Ages. This was typical of the man: he never stinted in the academic help that he gave to colleagues, other scholars and students. One effect of this unselfishness was the constant flow of scholars and students who spent a period at Queen Mary, officially or unofficially, and worked under his guidance. Another aspect of his devotion to the dissemination of knowledge was the energy he brought to the journals published by his department, in particular the Hispanic Research Journal. He was likewise instrumental in the founding of Tamesis Books (now part of Boydell & Brewer) and of the series Research Bibliographies & Checklists (Grant & Cutler). Deyermond was fiercely independent-minded and never willing to adopt any position in which he did not fully believe. This uncompromising characteristic, which could lead to astringency, was unsettling for some, although it was never accompanied by public anger or rudeness. These traits, with an astonishing memory, made him much loved as a teacher and supervisor. For many years, he was accompanied to the department by his standard poodle, Tom. On more than one occasion when Deyermond was lecturing on the Poema de Mio Cid, the episode in which the hero calmly seizes the escaped lion and returns him to his cage (thereby enhancing his personal honour) was enacted by Deyermond with Tom as the lion. Deyermond received honorary degrees from the universities of Oxford, Valencia and Georgetown. He was a Fellow of the British Academy and this year became one of the small number of corresponding members of the Real Academia Española. In 1994 he was awarded the Nebrija Prize, given each year by the University of Salamanca to the non-Spanish scholar who has contributed most to the understanding of Spanish culture and the Spanish language. A reflection of his standing in the world of Hispanism and medieval studies was his presidency of the Asociación Internacional de Hispanistas (1992-95; honorary life president since 1995) and of the International Courtly Literature Society (1983). In 1985 he was made a socio de honor of the Asociación Hispánica de Literatura Medieval and, since 1999, an honorary fellow of Queen Mary, University of London. A Christian and a life-long Liberal, Deyermond is survived by his wife, Ann, and their daughter. Alan Deyermond, Professor of Hispanic Studies, was born on February 24, 1932. He died on September 19, 2009, aged 77 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Enrique Fernandez Head Dept. of French, Spanish and Italian U of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Enrique_Fernandez(a)umanitoba.ca

Libros en pdf sobre la Celestina
by govert beniel 03 May '09

03 May '09

Después de 7 años de estudios he terminado mis investigaciones sobre los autores de La Celestina. El trabajo de Fernando de Rojas era mínimo y casí todo es el trabajo de Juan del Encina. Ya se puede pensar en cerrar el museo en Talavera de la Reina o en la Puebla de Montalbán y pensar más en la genialidad del poeta Juan del Encina, hombre que revolucionó con sus ideas los humanistas en Italia y que era la causa de que se comenzó a escribir un poema de ajedrez en 1507 bajo órdenes de Federico Fregoso, hijo de la señora Gentile Feltria a quien fue dedicado la Tragicomedia. Tambien Encina era la inspiración para Castiglione de escribir su "cortesano", etc. etc. Con respecto a la autoría de Juan del Encina, ya lo decía el alemán Eggert (1497) y los investigadores María Remedios Prieto de la Yglesia y su marido el prof. Antonio Sánchez Sánchez-Serrano (1971), y el estudio de la carta en la Celestina efectuada por el prof. Ottavio di Camillo era un trabajo brillante. Efectivamente hallamos estas palabras tan soficisticas en la literatura de Juan del Encina. Chapeau! por la intuición y genialidad del investigador di Camillo.
