"This book reads the work of Pedro Salinas, Jorge Guillen, Juan Larrea, Gerardo Diego, Rafael Alberti, Concha Mendez, and Federico Garcia Lorca in analogical relation with Cubism and the revolutionary discoveries of modern physics. Candelas Gala advances traditional criticism by considering these artists in the broader cultural context of Spain, Europe, and European Modernism"--Provided by publisher.
