Resumen
El poema burlesco Un convite de don Jorge Manrique a su madrastra ha recibido abundante atención crítica como sátira misógina. Este trabajo argumenta que, aunque el vituperio hubiera sido la intención original del autor, la intervención del compilador Hernando del Castillo, que lo incluyó en sus dos primeras ediciones del Cancionero general, y del impresor Juan de Villaquirán, de cuyo taller salió un pliego fragmentario con Un convite junto a otros dos poemas, dan lugar a inestabilidad genérica en la recepción: el inicial vituperio manriqueño deviene, en su pliego, en ingenioso disparate festivo, mudando su ascripción a uno de los géneros que, junto a los romances, más divulgación tuvieron en dicho soporte tipográfico.

Abstract
The burlesque poem Un convite de don Jorge Manrique a su madrastra has received ample critical attention as an example of misogynous satire. This essay contends that, while slander may have been the poem’s authorial intention, the interventions by compiler Hernando del Castillo, who included the poem in his first and second edition of the Cancionero general, and by printer Juan de Villaquirán, who published it along with two other poems in a now fragmentary chapbook, bring about generic variance in its reception: the initial slander becomes festive disparate, one of the most popular genres contained in chapbooks. 1 Sol Miguel-Prendes is Associate Professor at Wake Forest University.
