Klappentext Looks at the Spanish-American "modernista" poets Vorwort This revised edition serves as an illuminating guide to modernista movement, commenting in detail on key texts from both phases, with English notes and vocabulary, and an introduction. Zusammenfassung The modernista movement completely changed poetry in the Spanish language. The movement arose in the last decades of the 19th century and had as its leader, Rubén Darío, a Nicaraguan by birth. Travelling the countries of Central and South America, as well as Cuba and Mexico , Dario gave modernism a continental resonance and d also have a profound impact on his contemporaries in Spain . Customarily the movement is seen as falling into two phases. During the first, which ended more or less with the nineteenth century , the emphasis was on literary exploration of the world s cultures and on enhancing the metrical possibilities of Spanish. During the second there was greater concern with the often prosaic reality of the surrounding world, and with America’s indigenous roots. This revised edition serves as an illuminating guide to the movement, commenting in detail on key texts from both phases. It includes English notes and vocabulary, and with an introduction placing the work in its literary and cultural context.
