«Campos de Castilla» is the poetry collection by Antonio Machado, published by Biblioteca Nueva in hardback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Poetry collection composed between 1907 and 1917 that turns the landscape, people and history of Castile into poetic material. It brings together aphorisms and compositions close to the Generation of '98, the elegies for the illness and death of Leonor Izquierdo, and the narrative poem «La tierra de Alvargonzález».
1998 edition from the collection «98. Cien años después» (no. 10), with an introduction by Antonio Ramos Gascón.
Classic of twentieth-century Spanish literature, commonly read in schools and for those approaching the poetry of 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."
