«Antología poética» is the poetry anthology by Antonio Machado, published by Alianza in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together a selection of Antonio Machado's poetry, with poems composed between 1899 and 1922 arranged according to the books in which they appeared. Machado's poetry combines melancholic introspection and a skeptical, disillusioned romanticism, with love, pain, the transience of existence and concern for Spain as its central themes.
This edition belongs to the Alianza Cien collection; the introduction and notes are signed by Arturo Ramoneda.
Intended for literature students and a general audience interested in poetry.
Antonio Cipriano José María y Francisco de Santa Ana Machado y Ruiz, simply known as Antonio Machado, was a Spanish poet and one of the leading figures of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of '98. His work, initially modernist, evolved towards an intimate form of symbolism with romantic traits. He gradually developed a style characterised by both an engagement with humanity on one side and an almost Taoist contemplation of existence on the other, a synthesis that, according to Machado, echoed the most ancient popular wisdom. In Gerardo Diego's words, Machado "spoke in verse and lived in poetry."
