«Celebración del modernismo» is the literary criticism essay by Saúl Yurkiévich, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
The essay examines the connection between Hispanic American modernism and literary avant-gardes. Against later authors such as Vicente Huidobro, César Vallejo and Pablo Neruda, Yurkiévich places Rubén Darío, Leopoldo Lugones and Julio Herrera y Reissig as progenitors of that poetic renewal. It advocates returning to the modernists to recover imaginative fantasy, humour, play and literary pleasure, along with a polyvalent and polyphonic writing.
It belongs to the Cuadernos Ínfimos collection, number 72, from Tusquets Editores, the imprint that published it in 1976.
Of interest to readers and scholars of Hispanic American poetry and of the connections between modernism and avant-gardes.
