«En las orillas del Sar» is the poetry collection by Rosalía de Castro, published by Mainer Til in hardcover (189 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together poems in Spanish with an intimate, melancholic tone, a desolate view of the world and a feeling of uprootedness. It shuns ostentatious Romanticism to approach the sensibility that 20th-century poetry would later explore, and its sober, direct style has been noted as a forerunner of Unamuno and Machado.
It belongs to the Classics of World Literature collection. The work was originally published in 1884.
For readers of Romantic poetry and 19th-century Spanish literature interested in an author who opens paths toward modern lyric poetry.
María Rosalía Rita de Castro, was a Galician poet and novelist, considered one of the most important figures of the 19th-century Spanish literature and modern lyricism. Widely regarded as the greatest Galician cultural icon, she was a leading figure in the emergence of the literary Galician language. Through her work, she projected multiple emotions, including the yearning for the celebration of Galician identity and culture, and female empowerment. She is credited with challenging the traditional female writer archetype.
