The **generación del '98** Self-Reflection
Back
This group (Unamuno, Baroja, Machado) analyzed Spain's decline after the Spanish-American War of 1898. They sought 'casticismo' (finding the authentic Spanish soul) and often looked to the Castilian landscape as a source of national identity.
Front
Ruben Dario and **Modernismo**
Back
Dario is the father of Modernismo. This movement rejected the utilitarian view of literature, favoring pure art, beauty, and exotic imagery (often French-influenced). It revitalized Spanish metrics and introduced a new, cosmopolitan sensibility.

Teatro de la furia in **Lope de Vega**
Back

Front
Garcia Lorca's **Poetica del duende**
Back
Lorca described 'duende' as a mysterious, earthy force inherent to Spanish art, distinct from 'angel' or 'muse.' It signifies a raw, irrational power that channels death and suffering into authentic artistic creation.
