Abstract
-
This thesis deals with a vital and poetic attitude, reflected in the literary discourse of some Spanish writers, which critics have called "mediterraneismo" or "mediterraneidad". The constant presence of the natural Mediterranean space--the world of the real--and a distinctive spiritual climate--one special way to feel, to think and to act--shape the works of the studied authors.;In the first chapter different approaches and some critical theories about the role of place in literature are discussed. The first section of this chapter concentrates on the importance of space in the constitution of the poetic discourse. The second one studies how the natural space has been seen over time by some theorists and how the concept "landscape" has been developed. The third part concentrates on the Mediterranean space and how this, since the very beginning of the written word, emerges in poems, creating a tradition that still endures today.;Once the principles of the role of space in poetry were determined, an analysis of the "mediterraneidad" in the poems of the "poetas arabigo-valencianos", as well as in Ramon Llull, Joan Maragall, Gabriel Miro, and Juan Gil-Albert, was undertaken. All these writers possess qualities which illustrate different aspects of the "mediterraneidad" in the Spanish literary tradition.;The third chapter concentrates on how the "mediterraneidad" appears and shapes the works of some poets of the second part of the twentieth century. The love of the Andalusien landscape and "el sentimiento del sur" give the distinctive note to the poetry of the group Cantico, which is a celebratory song of life. This chapter looks at the second generation of the Spanish postwar era, concentrating on the work of Carlos Barral, and making a brief study of the urban poetry of Jaime Gil de Biedma.;The fourth and final chapter and the most extensive, investigates mainly the "mediterraneidad" throughout the poetic work of Francisco Brines, and also deals with the extra-Mediterranean space and the image of the city in his poetry. The goal has been to put the lyric work of Francisco Brines in the scope of a larger tradition of writers of the Mediterranean--in a more universal context.;The fourth chapter is followed by an appendix on critical theory, which while not directly related to the thesis, acted as the starting point for the dissertation.
