This book is an unpublished conference by Pedro Salinas, read in several cities in Spain in 1930 and in Barcelona in 1933. The manuscript, preserved by his friend Jorge Guillén, offers a critical approach to poetry and the relationship between the external world and the poet's inner world. Written for a non-specialized audience, it reviews Spanish lyric poetry from Garcilaso de la Vega to Ramón de Campoamor, claiming the poetic possibilities of modernity.
Pedro Salinas y Serrano was a Spanish poet, a member of the Generation of '27, as well as a university teacher, scholar and literary critic. In 1937, he delivered the Turnbull lectures at Johns Hopkins University. These were later published under the title Reality and the Poet in Spanish Poetry.
