Canine Antisemitism in the Coplas del perro de Alba

Main Article Content

Adrienne L. MARTÍN

Abstract

The main objective of this essay is to bring to light and examine the Coplas del perro de Alba, a text that until now has been overlooked by critics, whereas its anti-Semitism allows us to relate it to subsequent texts. Moreover, the poem’s distancing from conventional satirical topoi, its incorporation of the dog as a principal enemy of the Jews, and its corresponding elevation of that animal to an almost heroic level permit its interpretation as an emblem of the problematic social interactions in Spain during that time, and even in the modern era.
