Apuntes para una historia de la polémica gongorina en SevillaSome Notes for a History of the Gongoristic Controversy in Seville

Abstract

This work studies the impact of the Gongoristic polemics in the city of Seville. In order to do that, a group of writers who commented and praised Góngora during the XVII century is firstly examined. Secondly, the few testimonies of the slow acceptance of Góngora’s poetics within the humanistic circles of the city are compiled and interpreted, and some proofs of the resistance and opposition to this new poetry are provided. Finally, the article analyzes the relation with Seville of three manuscripts very significant for the transmission of the Gongoristic controversy.
