Overview
«Podrá no haber poetas; pero siempre habrá poesía.»
Las Rimas de Bécquer son hoy la más conocida de las colecciones poéticas del siglo XIX. Exponente de una lírica incómoda en el corsé romántico y casi modernista, estos poemas breves deben su liviandad a un esforzado trabajo de depuración estilística. A su vez, las Leyendas son narraciones fantásticas de tono intimista y lúgubre, basadas en su mayoría en relatos populares, y suponen una de las producciones más representativas del posromanticismo de nuestro país.
El catedrático emérito en literatura española de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia Enrique Rull firma la introducción, las actividades finales y las notas que acompañan al lector a lo largo del volumen. Desde la semblanza de Bécquer hasta el análisis de su poética y el estudio de las fuentes de las que bebe su narrativa, la presente edición, que incluye asimismo las Cartas literarias a una mujer, resulta imprescindible para el estudio pormenorizado de esta obra cumbre de las letras hispánicas.
