«Campos de Castilla» is the poetry collection by Spanish poet Antonio Machado, published by Taurus in paperback (247 pages, in Spanish).
A key work of the Generation of '98, in which the poet portrays the landscape of Castile with realist sobriety and turns it into a starting point for reflection on Spain, the passage of time, and existence. A classic of twentieth-century Spanish poetry.
The work originally appeared in 1912; this 1974 edition, the second in the Temas de España series, includes a study and notes by Rafael Ferreres.
For readers of classic Spanish poetry and literature students interested in the Generation of '98.
Antonio Cipriano José María y Francisco de Santa Ana Machado y Ruiz, simply known as Antonio Machado, was a Spanish poet and one of the leading figures of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of '98. His work, initially modernist, evolved towards an intimate form of symbolism with romantic traits. He gradually developed a style characterised by both an engagement with humanity on one side and an almost Taoist contemplation of existence on the other, a synthesis that, according to Machado, echoed the most ancient popular wisdom. In Gerardo Diego's words, Machado "spoke in verse and lived in poetry."
