EN BUSCA DEL POETA INCÓGNITO: LUIS CERNUDA EN SUS POEMAS PARA UN CUERPO. (Spanish)

IN SEARCH OF THE UNKNOWN POET: LUIS CERNUDA IN POEMAS PARA UN CUERPO. (English)

During the past and present centuries, literary theory has underlined the central importance of the text when studying poetry, while issues concerning the author who wrote the poetry tend to get dismissed. As a result of this emphasis, many textual aspects have come to light that were previously ignored. Nonetheless, the author is a concept that refuses to vanish completely from critical discussion. To exemplify the relevance of examining the person behind the poetry, this essay highlights the importance of the poet's biography for an appreciation of a very special set of poems: Luis Cernuda's Poemas para un cuerpo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Durante el siglo pasado, y en pleno siglo xxi, la teoría literaria ha demostrado la importancia que tiene el texto poético, de tal manera que las consideraciones en torno al autor han quedado casi desechadas. Este principio ayudó a descubrir relevantes características de los poemas. Sin embargo, el concepto de autor no termina por desaparecer del todo. Para ejemplificar la presencia y la relevancia de la persona que escribe los versos, el siguiente artículo intenta explicar la importancia de la biografía del poeta para la escritura de un conjunto muy especial de textos: los Poemas para un cuerpo de Luis Cernuda.
