Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Modern Poets and Poetry of Spain" by James Kennedy et al. is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work aims to provide insights into Spanish poetry, focusing particularly on modern poets, their contributions, and their cultural significance. It seeks to bridge the understanding between Spanish literary art and English readers through both critical analysis and translated examples of notable works. The opening of the book sets the stage for Kennedy's exploration of Spanish poetry by referencing the influence of historical events, such as the Moorish domination, and their legacy on the literary landscape. Kennedy reflects on the shortcomings of previous travelers and authors in adequately portraying the vibrant mental culture of Spain. He emphasizes the necessity of understanding a nation's literature as a window into its civilization. The introduction establishes the author’s intent to enrich English literary knowledge by showcasing contemporary Spanish poets through their biographies and selected translations, ultimately demonstrating the unique quality and historical context that Spanish poetry has to offer.
