Descripción:
Best known as a poet and senior member of Spain’s Poetic Generation of 1927, Pedro Salinas(1891-1951) wrote fourteen plays during the last fifteen years of his life, and all but one of theseplays he composed in exile. His dramatic works continue the themes of his poetry, yet his exileforcefully focuses him on his own separation from Spain and the widespread social disruptioncaused by the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Dramatic works permit him to introduce poetprotagonists seeking to overcome the social estrangement that Salinas finds all around him.

This book clarifies the aims of Salinas’s theater and his use of poet heroes as protagonists. Polanskyexamines Salinas the correspondent, essayist, and emigre to trace the genesis of his theaterand to ground the key role of poet actors or guide figures in his dramatic production. Most notably,in letters to his fiancee and wife Margarita, his friend and colleague Jorge Guillen, and his secretbeloved Katherine Reding Whitmore, Salinas shares his attachment to the theater and elucidatesthe evolution of his plays. Also, he articulates his thoughts about disconnection from Spain, themodern world, theater in general, the responsibility of the poet, and artistic freedom.

n many of his essays, Salinas further considers the poet’s link with reality and thesocial functions of the genre of drama in combination with its lyricism. After providingthe context rooted in his biography and in the asthetic positions of Salinas and others of hisgeneration, Polansky closely studies Salinas’s dramatic works and his construction of poetheroes. She discloses the pivotal action in the basic plot structure, the characterization ofvisionary poet figures, and Salinas’s contemporary reenactment of traditional heroes andstory lines. Salinas the poet-turned-dramatist thus connects with his absent homeland,language, and literary tradition while attempting to accomplish the same for his audience.Finally, this work considers the achievement of Salinas the poet-playwright, the reception of hisplays, and their prescience at mid-Twentieth Century in the face of modernity with its promisesand dangers. Attention is given to dramatic works and ideas for theater that Salinas did not havethe opportunity to develop. Salinas’s theater both depicts and reflects the poet as actor and asdramatic hero.
