Novecentismo

Novecentismo was an early 20th-century Spanish cultural movement that emerged around 1900, characterized by a focus on intellectualism and a reaction against Romanticism and modernism. It sought to promote reason, clarity, and a return to classical ideals in art and literature. Thinkers and writers of this movement emphasized aesthetics, philosophy, and cultural refinement, aiming to reestablish a sense of order and harmony in Spanish life. Key figures included José Ortega y Gasset and Ramón Pérez de Ayala. Novecentismo played a crucial role in shaping modern Spanish thought and paved the way for future literary movements.
