Written on in English with a size of 4.04 KB

Influences and Lines of Spanish Poetry

The process of rehumanization converged in several poetic lines, extending influences from the past:

  • Surrealism: Exemplified by poets like Aleixandre, Lorca, Cernuda, and Alberti.
  • Social and Revolutionary Poetry: Influenced by Neruda, Alberti, and Miguel Hernández.
  • Transcendent Poetry: Which sought to emulate the artistic quality of the poets of the Generation of '27.

Spanish Poetry in Exile: Three Main Groups

Poetry written in exile from Spain is generally grouped into three categories:

  1. The Generation of '27.
  2. The Generation of '14.
  3. A third group whose work was constructed entirely while in exile.

Written on in English with a size of 5.81 KB

Sebastian F. Ramallo Asensio (Universidad de Murcia)

"Militum deinde quod eos non conlaudavit virtutem eruptio hostium, non altitudo moenium, Stagni inexplorata non vada, non castellum in high Tumulo situm, non munitissima arx deterruisset quo minus transcenderent omnia perrumperentque."

(T. Livy, XXVI, 48, 4)

This text from Livy's History of Rome clearly expresses components of the defensive apparatus of the city founded by Hasdrubal: the height of its walls, the unexplored shallow lagoon, the fortress located on a high hill, and the well-defended citadel. These components, coupled with the excellent conditions of its harbor and its strategic position on communication routes to Africa and Italy through the Balearic Islands (Appian, 19), made...

Neoclassicism: Reason and Didacticism in 18th Century Spain

Neoclassicism was a prominent artistic movement of the eighteenth century, deeply influenced by the Enlightenment. In this era, reason predominated over the senses, and literature adopted a strong didactic purpose, with the critical essay gaining significant prominence. The prevailing style was simple, valuing good taste and clarity.

Lyric Poetry in Neoclassicism

Neoclassical lyric poetry was characterized by being neither original nor overtly emotional. Instead, it valued didactic and utilitarian poetry. Juan Meléndez Valdés stands out as the poet who best summarized the neoclassical Anacreon, also addressing social issues in his works.
