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. They sought to innovate poetic forms and address contemporary social issues, influenced by European avant-garde movements. Their work is characterized by its emotional depth, musicality, and exploration of identity and existence, making a lasting impact on Spanish literature and culture.
