Generation of '27
The Generation of '27 (Spanish Generación del '27) was an influential group of poets that arose in Spanish literary circles between 1923 and 1927, essentially out of a shared desire to experience and work with avant-garde forms of art and poetry. Their first formal meeting took place in Seville in 1927 to mark the 300th anniversary of the death of Luis de Góngora.
Members included:
- Rafael Alberti (1902-1999)
- Vicente Aleixandre (1898-1984)
- Dámaso Alonso (1898-1990)
- Manuel Altolaguirre (1905-1959)
- Luis Cernuda (1902-1963)
- Gerardo Diego (1896-1987)
- Federico García Lorca (1898-1936)
- Jorge Guillén (1893-1984)
- Emilio Prados (1899-1962)
- Pedro Salinas (1891-1951)
The Civil War brought the splitting of the movement: García Lorca was murdered and other members forced into exile.
