This book represents the first attempt to come to terms with that work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor Dennis's study focuses on the period 1920-1936, the so-called silver age of Spanish literature, during which Bergamín rose to prominence alongside a group of superlatively gifted writers and friends, among them Frederico Garcia Lorca, Rafael Alberti, Jorge Guillén, and Pedro Salinas. It sets out to explain the nature of the relationship Bergamín had as a critic and prose writer with the major poets of the 1920s and 1930s, and at the same time systematically examines the singularity of his own work as an aphorist, essayist, and dramatist. Professor Dennis also devotes attention to explaining the sense of Bergamín's initiative in founding the important journal \u003cem\u003eCruz y Raya\u003c\/em\u003e (1933-1936) and the role this publication played, both culturally and politically, during the troubled years of the Second Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book not only fills a notable gap in our understanding of pre--Civil War literary and intellectual life in Spain, but also lays the foundation for all future research into the work of this fascinating and enigmatic writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNigel Dennis\u003c\/b\u003e (1949-2013) was a professor of Spanish in the School of Modern Languages at the University of St. Andrews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 1986\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45661689511980,"sku":"9781487598211","price":64.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/0954\/5772\/files\/E9qtKt1ej-9781487598211.webp?v=1781591245","url":"https:\/\/smartsupplydeals.com\/products\/jose-bergamin-a-critical-introduction-1920-1936-paperback","provider":"Smart supply deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
