Redondilla

The Redondilla ( Spanish "song for the round dance", Portuguese also Redondilha ) is a stanza form in Spanish poetry . It consists of eight-syllable quatrains ( Redondilla mayor , as well as the less common six-syllable Redondilla menor ). The cross rhyme ( rima cruzada ) abab has been recorded since the 11th, the embracing rhyme ( rima abrazada ) abba since the 14th century. The younger form prevailed and is now considered the real one. It was probably created from the split of the Copla de arte menor (see arte menor ) and is related to the Quintilla .

The redondilla flourished in the Siglo de Oro during the 16th and 17th centuries. During this time it became an independent stanza form in poetry and drama with Juan de la Cueva , Lope de Vega , Tirso de Molina , Guillén de Castro and Juan Pérez de Montalbán . It lost its importance in Spain during Neoclassicism , but has found its way into Latin American literature of the 17th century and later. a. by Juana Inés de la Cruz can claim. In the modern age, the redondilla became popular again.
