Abstract

SABA, Mariano. Alas, el memorioso: poesía, prosa y una contienda clave en su lectura del teatro áureo. CELEHIS [online]. 2016, n.31. ISSN 2313-9463.

To judge the literary present of his time, Leopoldo Alas had to define a relationship with the past. In this sense, the criticism might be for him a kind of custody for the memory of the future canon. Thus, the conflict between poetry and prose often served him as a metaphor to show the decline of his time and to expose some melancholy for bygone greatness, often associated with dramatic poetry of the Baroque.

Keywords : Leopoldo Alas "Clarín" - Golden Age theater - canon - criticism - poetry.
