Abstract

Ana Rossetti’S 1985 collection Indicios vehementes (Poesía 1979-1984) includes the poem “Isolda” part of a heterogeneous set of six with a primarily love theme. In a highly personal manner the author recreates the role played by the female protagonist of the medieval legend of Tristran and Iseult, popular in many parts of Europe and in many different versions. I focus on Béroul’s refreshing approach and compare it to Rossetti’s using a method based on reception theory, with a view to analyse eroticism as a form of female supremacy in those two, ostensibly remote, time periods.
