Poetic Anthology by Luis Cernuda, with introduction and selection by Rafael Santos Torroella. This third edition was published in 1974 by Plaza & Janés in Esplugas de Llobregat. The book includes bibliographical references and is part of the 'Selecciones de poesía española' series.
Luis Cernuda Bidón was a Spanish poet, a member of the Generation of '27. During the Spanish Civil War, in early 1938, he went to the UK to deliver some lectures and this became the start of an exile that lasted till the end of his life. He taught in the universities of Glasgow and Cambridge before moving in 1947 to the US. In the 1950s he moved to Mexico. While he continued to write poetry, he also published wide-ranging books of critical essays, covering French, English and German as well as Spanish literature. He was frank about his homosexuality at a time when this was problematic and became something of a role model for this in Spain. His collected poems were published under the title La realidad y el deseo.
