Klappentext This book applies Kuhn's paradigm shift theory to the evolution of Spanish and Portuguese societies from the 1950s to the end of the twentieth century, from the perspective of a similar shift in poetry. The paradigm in question is the "postmodern" social (and thus, literary) paradigm popularized during the 1990s.
