La tematización de la propia infancia es una constante en la lírica española del siglo XX. Con un corpus de más de trescientos poemas, este estudio analiza algunas de las circuns-tancias históricas, culturales y literarias que revitalizaron este tema en la lírica del siglo pasado. Asimismo, describe de manera teórica los rasgos principales que se repiten de manera sistemática en las evocaciones poéticas de la niñez. En los textos analizados, gracias a la confluencia de la lírica con las escritu-ras autobiográficas, los poetas hacen del recuerdo de su infancia tema lite-rario y establecen un muy particular pacto de lectura autorreferencial, por el que son identificados con la voz poética y con el personaje de su texto, sin dejar por ello de participar de la ficcionalidad inherente a cualquier género lírico.

In With Roots & Wing, Jay McDaniel brings together insights from the natural sciences, Christian theology, and interreligious dialogue, breaking new ground in the search for a wholistic spirituality for our time. Taking this title from the Jewish proverb--that we must give our children both roots and wings--McDaniel shows how this applies to our spiritual lives as well. With Roots and Wings offers an alternative to the contemporary dilemmas of empty consumerism and rigid fundamentalism, consisting of three basic, interrelated approaches to being: to be rooted in the Earth and religious tradition; to be open to the insights of people of other faiths as well as to share our own; and to become ...
