«Campos de Castilla» is the poetry collection by Antonio Machado, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Antonio Machado's stay in Soria and daily contact with the land and people of Castile inspire this poetry collection. In it, the poet expresses his identification with the landscape and soul of Castile, and develops a meditation on the passage of time and the fate of Spain, combining objective observation and lyrical depth.
Originally published in 1912, this is the edition by Geoffrey Ribbans in the Letras Hispánicas collection; it is based on the fourth edition of «Poesías completas» (1936) and collates variants from the period.
Recommended for students of Spanish literature and readers of classical poetry 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."
