Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer

    February 17, 1836 – December 22, 1870

    Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, a pivotal figure in Spanish post-romanticism, is celebrated for his intimate, lyrical poetry and evocative legends that stand as exemplary prose poetry. His work is imbued with sensorial intensity, frequently incorporating supernatural elements like gnomes, ghosts, and enchanted structures, exploring themes of vanity and desire. His later writings reveal a contemplative style, delving into love, the purpose of art, and the feminine mystique. Revered as the founder of modern Spanish lyricism, Bécquer profoundly influenced numerous Spanish-language poets of the 20th century.
