MELILLA Y LA POESÍA ESPAÑOLA DESDE 1900

El ensayo Melilla y la poesía española desde 1900, con prólogo del catedrático de Literatura Española José Nicolás Romera Castillo, aborda la relación entre literatura y ciudad, en concreto, la poesía y la metrópoli melillense desde comienzos del siglo pasado. Es una elaboración del espacio urbano a través de la lírico contemporánea en sentido amplio. Así, se estudian los poemas que definen las campañas militares de comienzos del siglo XX en esta ciudad, o la presencia e importancia de las revistas literarias, las antologías con este espacio urbano como protagonista y las variaciones representadas por los propios poetas nacidos en Melilla o vinculados a ella por la escritura. Ciudad y poesía como materialización de palabras que fundan una realidad letrada en el recorrido empírico que se establece desde el comienzo del siglo pasado y se asoma a la catástrofe de la historia, al abismo de la incomprensión del lugar y, por supuesto, a la belleza construida.

Los resultados del trabajo de campo superaron las expectativas iniciales y nos han permitido recomponer un rico panorama de tradiciones que, en ocasiones específicas, se conectan con la literatura hagiográfica o incluso se nutren de ella. Estos enlaces entre oralidad y e...
