Pablo Neruda y la Generación del 27

Abstract

The years that Pablo Neruda lived in Spain were, undoubtedly, decisive in his poetic development and in his future evolution as a poet closely committed to the social demands of Spanish America. His contact and collaboration with members of the “Generación del 27”, in a moment of great historical relevance for the destiny both of Spain and Europe, led to an important dialogue between poetics from both sides of the Atlantic and to the forming of what critics have defined as “Hispanic Surrealism”. From a transatlantic critical perspective, the article analyses this relationship and provides a basis for various complementary lines of research.
