Book description

¿Qué ha hecho que la obra de Gabriel Miró parezca haberse relegado a un lugar marginal de la historia de la literatura española, con cada vez menos lectores? La pregunta no es baladí. Puede que Miró no fuera un escritor de masas. En efecto, en concordancia con la estética de vanguardia, fue un autor difícil. Pero fue una figura clave de la llamada edad de plata. Sus obras, además, suscitaron un interés de repercusiones mediáticas, como las polémicas en torno a su retrato del clero o la presunta inmoralidad de su prosa y su heterodoxa visión de Cristo. En este libro, se sugieren las razones que han podido llevar a este injusto olvido literario y se muestra que, a pesar de todo, su obra nunca ha dejado de ser relevante, y ha influido en autores de postguerra tan importantes como Camilo José Cela y Francisco Umbral, en la obra narrativa de un filólogo de tanto prestigio como Antonio Prieto y en otros novelistas como Pedro de Lorenzo, Antonio Zoido y Adolfo Lizón. Guillermo Laín Corona es profesor de lengua y literatura españolas en University College London. ENGLISH VERSION: 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. Guillermo Laín Corona is a Teaching Fellow in Spanish Language and Literature at University College London.
