Spanish Poetry of the Twentieth Century - Modernity and Beyond

"The first English-language history published in the United States to examine the sweep of modern Spanish verse. Debicki, more importantly, is the first to situate Spanish poetry in the context of European modernity, to trace its trajectory from the symbolists to the post-modernists.

About the author

Andrew P. Debicki (1934-2005) was Distinguished Professor of Spanish at the University of Kansas. He was the author of numerous books, including Poetas hispanoamericanos contemporámeos.

He then traces the evolution of that tradition in the early decades of the century and its gradual disintegration from the 1950s to the present as Spanish poetry came to reflect features of the postmodern, especially the poetics of text as process rather than as product.
