INTERTEXTUALITY THROUGH OBSCURITY
The Poetry of Federico García Lorca
and Luis de Góngora
by
Jack De Groot
(University of Queensland, Australia)
In order to reveal the
extent, timing, inevitability, as well as the nature of an intertextual relationship
between Lorca and Góngora, Jack De Groot explores the origins, aims, emission, and
reception of the obscurity implicit in a significant selection of both poets’oeuvres,
including the Sonnets of Dark Love, Oda a Salvador Dalí and
Soledades. Intricate poetic parallels through obscurity did not emerge
exclusively from controversial political, religious or economic circumstances, such as the
decadence of the Spanish Empire, the changing role of the Catholic Church or harsh
treatment of ethnic minorities over the centuries, but are results of dramatic events
experienced by the poets within their personal milieus.
