Las vanguardias son un conjunto de movimientos literarios y artísticos desarrollados a comienzos del siglo XX que intentaron crear un arte radicalmente nuevo. Sus rasgos principales incluyen:

• Antirrealismo y autonomía del arte.
• Arte deshumanizador, en ocasiones desprovisto de sentimiento.

Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

Born in Granada and a resident of Madrid since 1919—with the exception of his time in New York (1929–1930)—Federico García Lorca was tragically killed at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. His poetry and theater consistently explore central themes of death, love driven by pain, and frustration.

Poetic Stages

• 1921–1928: A stylization of popular and traditional forms conveying a tragic view of marginalized characters, such as in Canciones (1927), Poema del Cante Jondo (1931), and Gypsy Ballads (1928).
• 1929–1936: A shift toward surrealism and a break with traditional verse, while maintaining solidarity with disadvantaged, racial, and sexual groups. Poet in New York (1929–1930) expresses the dialectic

Ortega y Gasset’s life spanned the last third of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, making him a key witness to an eventful era in Spanish history. We highlight the following historical events:

• The Disaster of 1898: The loss of the Spanish colonies in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, which ended the Spanish-American War. These losses were the starting point for an important reflection on Spain and its social and economic situation by a group of intellectuals. Their objective was to promote the radical reform and regeneration of Spanish society.

Dramatic Genres

Dramatic genre: Drama means action. Poetry is dramatic when it needs to be performed. To cultivate Greek theater, four types of performances were developed: the tragedy, the satirical drama, the comedy and the mime.

Tragedy

The tragedy (from the Greek tragoidia) dealt with mythical themes and serious arguments. It was characterized by the presence of two or three main actors, who were all male, and a chorus of fifteen choristers. The presence of the chorus was essential: it sang and danced, and it commented on the action. Actors wore masks, long robes, shawls, and the buskin, a high-soled shoe. Female characters were played by men and wore white shawls.

Three great tragic myths were treated by the tragedians: the house of Thebes,...

Novecentismo

The cultural movement of the second decade of the twentieth century, also known as the Generation of 14, emerged in opposition to the nineteenth century. Around 1914, Modernism concluded, and a new stage gradually entered. New authors began shedding ornamental elements to achieve an intellectualization. This period saw the appearance of neopopularismo, which would remain relevant in the Generation of '27 (moving beyond the sentimentality of earlier intellectualism).

The Bridge Generation

The Generation of 14 acted as a bridge between the Generation of '98 and the Generation of '27. It was open to the world, defending universal values over purely national ones. Through the League of Political Education, a new approach to contemporary...
