Proyecciones de Gabriel Miro En La Narrativa Espanola de Postguerra

Why does it seem that Gabriel Miró has been neglected as a secondary writer in the literary history of Spain with fewer and fewer readers? This is not an irrelevant question. Miró might not have had a mass readership as accordingly to the aesthetics of the Avant-Garde he was a difficult writer. But he was a key figure in the so-called silver age. In addition his works caught the kind of attention that fascinated the media including the controversies surrounding his portrayals of the clergy the supposedly immorality of his prose and his heterodox view of Christ. This book tackles the reasons for this unfair literary oblivion and shows that despite it his work was never completely overlooked. Indeed Miró influenced relevant writers of the post-Civil War period such as Camilo José Cela and Francisco Umbral as well as the prose fiction of an important philologist like Antonio Prieto and other novelists such as Pedro de Lorenzo Antonio Prieto and Adolfo Lizón.
