Generation of '27

The Generation of '27 refers to a group of Spanish poets and writers who emerged in the early 20th century, particularly around 1927. This movement is often associated with advances in modernist literature and a rich blend of styles, including surrealism and symbolism. Key figures include Federico García Lorca, Vicente Aleixandre, and Luis Cernuda.
