Abstract
Abstract In the late 1920s, a number of poets of the fabled Generation of ’27 turn to Surrealism as the expression of a personal, generational, and poetic crisis. Alberti, Lorca, Cernuda, and Aleixandre’s Surrealist phase marks an axis or hinge between their ‘dehumanized’ poetry of the early 20s and their socially and politically committed texts of the 1930s. Drawing on critical theory ranging from Marcuse, Bürger, Jameson, and Benjamin to Lacan and Foucault, as well as articles and books devoted to the study of Spanish Surrealism in addition to the individual poets under consideration, this article offers a close reading of five canonical books of Spanish Surrealist poetry and reveals the ideological nature of apparently ahistorical, non-ideological texts.
