Above all, however, it is a pleasure to read. Cheadle’s accessible translation is designed to be read without scholarly accoutrements, though it does come equipped with an excellent introduction, incisive endnotes, a glossary of Spanish words, and period photographs of its principle actors. The book should help make both Lojo and Ocampo more familiar, which can only enrich anglophone cultures.” \u003cem\u003eDalhousie Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49083420377431,"sku":"9780228008613","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780228008613.jpg?v=1725548883","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/free-women-in-the-pampas-9780228008613","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
