Gabriel Miró and Catalan culture

the long version

"Frederic Barbera decided to study the forging of Gabriel Miro's literary language in the context of his poetics for two main reasons. On the one hand, he wanted to explain how Miro, a writer born in an area where Castilian was virtually unspoken, had succeeded in forging such a rich literary language in Spanish. On the other hand, he found it necessary to shed light on the way in which the complexity and beauty of that literary language, unanimously acknowledge by Miro's critics, was tightly linked to an ambitious poetics, ultimately responsible for one of the most modern narratives in Spanish in the early twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.
