"Con la denominación, tan discutida, de generación del 27, se conoce en la historiografía literaria al grupo de poetas que surgen a partir de 1920 en el entorno de Juan Ramón Jiménez, se reúnen en 1927 en el centenaria de Góngora, publican sus primeros poemas en revistas efímeras pero eternas, aparecen convocados por Gerardo Diego en su mítica Antología en 1932, logran la imposible fusión entre tradición y vanguardia, y, finalmente, se dispersan, marchan al exilio interior o exterior y crean mundos poéticos originales hasta la senectud. Dámaso Alonso, en 1948, los consagra como "generación poética" y la historia literaria los aglutina como el equipo más coherente y valioso que nuestra literatura ha aportado a la europea. Franciso Javier Díez de Revenga, especialista indiscutible en los poetas del 27, ofrece en este libro diez aproximaciones a sus indelebles mundos poéticos"--Publisher's website

"The designation of Generation of 27, indicated in the book's eponymous title, was known in literary historiography as a group of poets that emerged starting around 1920 under the auspices of Juan Ramón Jiménez. The group's first formal meeting was in 1927 on the anniversary of the death of Góngora. They published their first poems in ephemeral but lasting magazines and their works, which achieved an impossible fusion between tradition and the avant-guarde, were assembled by Gerardo Diego in his legendary anthology in 1932. They were finally dispersed in interior and exterior exile, creating original poetic worlds until senescence. Dámaso Alonso, in 1948, named them the "poetic generation" and literary history considers them the most consistent and valuable literary group that Spanish literature has brought to Europe. Francisco Javier Díez de Revenga, undisputed specialist in the Generation of '27, offers in this book ten approaches to their enduring poetic worlds"--Publisher's website
