Spain''s great 19th-century lyric poet is best known for these two works: Rhymes, a suite of 66 melancholy poems, and the 6 tales of Legends, romantic portrayals of everyday events.
Spain''s great lyric poet, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (18361870), is famed both for his poetry and his fiction. Bécquer''s celebrated Rhymes consists of sixty-six of the most splendid poems written in Spain in the nineteenth century. As the Alvarez Quintero brothers said, "All his poetry is moonlight." And the six tales from Bécquer''s Legends, shimmering between romance and fantasy, show why his prose is recognized as among the best from the Spanish Romantic tradition.
