A biographical and critical study of the Spanish poet Manuel Machado (1874-1947), who was highly thought of in his lifetime but who has, since his death, declined in popularity. His brother, Antonio, whom he once overshadowed, is now more widely read. The first half of the book is biographical, setting Machado against the general literary background in Spain, and estimating his debt to French influence. Dr. Brotherston deals in some detail with the 'Modernista' movement, so that the study is almost an account of Spanish literary life of the time. The second half of the book is critical; Dr. Brotherston wished to show the fine quality of certain poems, and to affirm Machado's real importance and distinction. The very full bibliography will be useful to readers closely concerned with Machado and his period. From the 1000+ volume private collection of well-known Australian poet and author Guy Weller all of which are listed or will soon be listed on this site. Includes many hardcover Collected Poems from sought-after 20th century poets from all countries.
