Antonio Machado (1875–1939) was one of Spain’s most original and renowned twentieth-century poets. In this volume, Nicol�s Fern�ndez-Medina focuses on Machado’s folkloric “Proverbios y cantares,” a collection of short, proverbial poems that he wrote between 1909 and 1937. Through close examination of the poems, Fern�ndez-Medina shows Machado’s great debt to earlier writers and thinkers, such as Plato, Kant, Schlegel, and Unamuno.

Recensione:

This handsome, hardback tome, with its most appropriate and sumptuous front cover depicting Rubens Cain Slaying Abel sets matters right [on Machado s Proverbios y cantares ] . . . This splendid book . . . shows that the finite inquiry into the works of Antonio Machado is far from being exhausted. This text is a serious and welcome contribution to that process. --Philip G. Johnston, University College Dublin

Nicol�s Fern�ndez-Medina s thorough and well-researched study places the spotlight on a largely unexplored facet and corpus of Antonio Machado s poetic production, namely his shorter, more proverbial texts . . . [The Poetics of Otherness] will surely be an excellent resource for students and scholars of Spanish literature as well as those interested in gaining a thorough understanding of the philosophical, intellectual and social climate in which Machado wrote his poetry. --Paul H. Cahill, Pomona College

En la copios�sima bibliograf�a sobre la obra de Antonio Machado, Proverbios y cantares es, con diferencia, la parte menos estudiada. De ah� que el presente estudio sea una contribuci�n que se suma a los escasos trabajos, algunos recientes. . . con el prop�sito de corregir esta laguna. . . Acierta [Fern�ndez-Medina] en aproximarse a los Proverbios y cantares interes�ndose por el problema del otro. --Reyes Vila-Belda, Indiana University
