scholarly journals El soneto modernista (Manuel Machado como paradigma)

Author(s):  
Manuel Romero Luque

El soneto es una forma métrica privilegiada, hasta el punto de traspasar los límites de su consideración como estrofa y adentrarse en los del género literario. Desde su nacimiento en el medievo siciliano, el soneto se extendió por toda la literatura occidental con notable éxito y no ha dejado de cultivarse hasta hoy. Una razón de esta pervivencia ha sido, sin duda, su capacidad para adaptarse a las distintas épocas y modos estéticos. En el caso de las letras hispánicas, un momento clave fue la llegada del modernismo y la implantación de un nuevo credo poético. La corriente venía de América y fue Rubén Darío su principal valedor; pero rápidamente el ámbito peninsular acogió con satisfacción sus novedades. Manuel Machado ha sido un claro exponente de la materialización de aquellas transformaciones: la alteración de su estructura (aun conservando su carácter de obra perfectamente trabada), la diversidad de metros empleada, el enriquecimiento de sus rimas o la asimilación de variedades ajenas a la tradición en lengua española.The sonnet is a privileged metrical form, it even runs through the limits of its consideration as a stanza to go into the ones of a literary genre. Since it was born in the Sicilian Medieval period, the sonnet spread over all the western literature with a remarkable success and it has never stopped of being practised since then. A reason for that, without a doubt, it has been its capacity of conforming to the diff erent ages and aesthetic patterns. In the case of Hispanic writings, a key moment was the appearance of Hispanic American modernism and the implementation of a new poetical creed. This literary trend came from America and Ruben Dario was its main defender, but it was easily accepted in Spain despite its novelties. Manuel Machado has been a clear example of how those transformations became real: the alteration of its structure (although the stanza conserved its character or work perfectly ensembled), the diversity of verses, the prosperity of its rhymes or the assimilation of varieties from out of the Spanish language’s tradition.

Hand in hand with recent theoretical and empirical developments related to the notion of archive, the field of Spanish American Modernism Studies is currently undergoing a stage of profound transformation. The validity in Literary Studies of a “new” philology not only highlights problems in the editions of classical texts from the fin de siècle period, but also invites researchers to review the clichés associated with this movement. In this sense, the case of Rubén Darío (1867-1916), whose texts remain in a state of notable precariousness, is exemplary. This article comments and recovers two unknown chronicles published in El Orden, a local newspaper in the Argentine province of Tucumán, that were written by this author. Besides their evident documental value, these texts, which were conceived at the farewell to his residence in Buenos Aires in 1898, acquire relevance if they are connected to the concerns that Darío will cultivate on his imminent trip to Europe. On one hand, they can be read as yet another episode of Buenosairean “calibanism”; on the other hand, they can be understood as an anticipation of a critical perspective towards the mythification of the concept of progress in the Parisian Universal Exhibition of 1900.

This paper examines Rubén Darío’s España contemporánea. Crónicas y retratos literarios (1901) in order to problematize the author’s perspective and position of enunciation. In the first part, we address the ways in which Darío’s chronicles represent imperialism. In the second part, we argue that Darío displays an anti-imperialist and Hispano-Americanist perspective, distancing himself from colonial and Eurocentric thought, as well as relocatingand differentially reevaluating Hispanic American culture in comparison to the United States and Europe.

Irene Morra shows how the conflict between words and music that was contested in “Billy Budd” can be extended to almost all modern British opera. Morra argues persuasively that a number of modernist writers came to view the libretto “as an alternative literary genre, one that would allow for the expression of literary ideals of musicality”.

This paper discusses the need for nationally based analytical models of the medieval period. The use of cluster analysis as a method for classifying demesne farms, by the crops they grew and their livestock management, is explained. Successful implementation of cluster analysis requires both the existence of a large base sample, to permit isolation of specific groupings within the data, and access to considerable processing time. The paper concludes by demonstrating how discriminant analysis can provide an efficient and systematic way of classifying even a single manor within a national frame of reference.
