La poesía de Lope ante la mirada de la crítica estilística

Abstract

The poetry of Lope de Vega has attracted the attention of critics in a growing form since the beginning of the 20th century. Many of the studies have analyzed it as the documentary reflection of his busy sentimental life, an aspect that has been obliterated in the critical works that leave aside biographism for the benefit of a greater accuracy in textual analysis. Due to the influence Amado and Dámaso Alonso had on the training of countless poetic scholars in Spain and Latin America –more particularly in Argentina– I find it interesting to review the works that both dedicated to the poetic production of Lope de Vega in his books Subject and form in poetry and Spanish Poetry. Test of methods and stylistic limits, respectively. Both authors focused the literary work as a significant and expressive construction, an intentional world where the spirit of the poet, imbued with aesthetic pleasure and who considered the lyric as the supreme manifestation of the language, is objectified.
