«Campos de Castilla» (edition by José Luis Cano) is Antonio Machado's poetry collection, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Campos de Castilla brings together the poetry Antonio Machado wrote in Soria: the Castilian landscape, its people and daily contact with the land become a lyrical and inner echo. The poet's gaze alternates description of the surroundings with existential meditation.
The book is part of number 10 of Cátedra's Letras Hispánicas collection, edited by José Luis Cano. The work was originally published in 1912.
Aimed at poetry readers and students approaching the classics of Spanish literature.
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."
