«Campos de Castilla» is a poetry collection by Antonio Machado published in 2006 by Alianza Editorial in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
The collection adopts a more objective gaze than Machado's earlier poetry, focusing on the people of Castile, the landscape, history, and social reality of Spain. It includes poems about the illness and death of Leonor Izquierdo and the extensive «La tierra de Alvargonzález», an inquiry into the essential human from a popular form.
Work originally published in 1912. Edition by Arturo Ramoneda in the El Libro de Bolsillo collection, Bibliotecas de Autor, Biblioteca Antonio Machado (number 405).
Aimed at readers of Spanish poetry and those studying the Generation of '98.
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."
