Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the readings initiated by Alfonso Reyes collected just one hundred years ago in Los dos caminos (1923) and focused on the figure of Azorín. The hermeneutics proposed by Alfonso Reyes of the readings of the Spanish 20 th century writers (Azorín, José Ortega y Gasset, Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Juan Ramón Jiménez and Mariano de Cavia) in that volume offers a synthesis that can be considered essential in Hispanic poetics that emerged in modernity, and a key reading of literature in Spanish. Reyes’ interpretation, by integrating critical historicism and its traditions into the commentary on the text, are exemplary by paralleling the criticism of Azorín with its own poetic and existential coordinates. This article discusses the exemplifications that show the detailed analysis of one of the most recognized and important theorists and critics of our modernity in Spanish: Alfonso Reyes.
