| description | Following an examination of the principal critical interpretations of the controversy that arose around Góngora following the appearance of Soledades (1613), the article makes a case for further research to look anew at assumptions that have rarely ever been questioned. The debate about Góngora and his obscurity tends to support the emergence of a new literary consciousness. This found expression in an attempt to assimilate a new doctrine of the sublime, inspired by Hellenistic rhetoric, and particularly by ‘Longinus’. But above all it was manifested in the formation of a small group of erudite humanists who, in their discussions and commentaries, tended to affirm the legitimacy of the «Góngora» phenomenon. The expansive energy of Spain, which at the time could be considered the world’s foremost monarchy and which was constantly rounding out and consolidating its dominions, found an echo in the appropriation by Góngora and his followers of new classical models, drawing on Hellenism and late Latinity and on the expansion of poetic language beyond the boundaries set by Petrarchism, by Garcilaso and also by the best 16th-century Italian poets, Ariosto and Tasso. Thanks to this poetry and its turbulent reception, then, we see Spanish literature staking its claim for autonomy, precisely at the historically logical moment in the early decades of the 17th century. |
