Proyecciones de Gabriel Miró En La Narrativa Española de Postguerra [Spanish]

By Guillermo Lain Corona

Why does it seem that Gabriel Mir has been neglected as a secondary writer in the literary history of Spain, with fewer and fewer readers? This is not an irrelevant question. Mir might not have had a mass readership, as, accordingly to the aesthetics of the Avant-Garde, he was a difficult writer. But he was a key figure in the so-called silver age. In addition, his works caught the kind of attention that fascinated the media, including the controversies surrounding his portrayals of the clergy, the supposedly immorality of his prose and his heterodox view of Christ. This book tackles the reasons for this unfair literary oblivion and shows that, despite it, his work was never completely overlooked. Indeed, Mir influenced relevant writers of the post-Civil War period, such as Camilo Jos Cela and Francisco Umbral, as well as the prose fiction of an important philologist like Antonio Prieto and other novelists such as Pedro de Lorenzo, Antonio Prieto and Adolfo Liz n.
