Abstract

AbstractThis essay expands upon a definition of the silva which is at once broader and more specific than the traditional sense in which it is normally understood: broader in the sense of not being limited to the silva métrica, and more specific because limited to poems (and stories) about trees. Beginning with Publius Papinius Statius and Francisco de Quevedo, then progressing through Antonio Machado and Vicente Aleixandre, and finally arriving at María Luisa Bombal and Claribel Alegría, this project traces a genealogy for tree poems in Hispanic literature.
