«Soledades, Galerías, Otros poemas» is Antonio Machado's poetry collection, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback, edited by Geoffrey Ribbans.
Poetic work by Antonio Machado originally published in 1907, preceding his compositions about Soria and the Castilian landscape. The book brings together poems where central elements of his writing already appear: recurring metaphors, themes of deep personal resonance, and a voice with a clear tone. It is framed within modernism, evolving toward a symbolist intimism of Romantic roots that connects with popular wisdom.
Part of the Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 180). Edited by Geoffrey Ribbans. 288 pages.
Recommended for readers of Spanish poetry and literature students who want to approach Machado's early period.
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."
