and the broader Catalan literary scene. The opening of the monograph sets the stage for an analysis of March's significance in the flowering of Catalan poetry, particularly during the reigns of Alfonso V and Juan II of Aragon. It discusses the rarity of prominent poetic figures in that era and emphasizes the need to understand the historical context in which March created his works. Rubió meticulously outlines the influences from earlier troubadour traditions and other literary schools, aiming to demonstrate how March emerged as a pivotal figure who fused these diverse influences into a unique poetic voice. This introduction acts as a foundation for an in-depth examination of Ausías March's life, his poetic style, and the evolution of Catalan literature in the context of Renaissance ideals and the rich cultural exchanges across regions.
