The Garden of the Modernists: Between Symbolism and Irony
Keywords:
Modernism, garden, irony, poetry, painting, symbolismAbstract
The aim of the article is to explore the motif of the garden in Spanish turn-of-the-century literature. Approaching an analysis of poems by Juan Ramón Jiménez or Antonio and Manuel Machado in relation to Spanish modernist texts in prose, one may detect certain bipolarity in the treatment of the analysed motif: opposite the symbolic and artistic garden emerges a garden of irony which systematically tends to question the components of the symbolic diction. The article suggests a possibility of using the category of modernist irony proposed here for all the Spanish modernist movement.
