"Limites y espejo": Linguistic Self-Consciousness in the Poetry of Vicente Aleixandre

The image of Vicente Aleixandre as a relatively unsophisticated creator has been remarkably tenacious. No one has called into question his mastery of language. The stylistic analyses of Carlos Bousoño, the author of the first and most influential monograph on the poet, have provided ample demonstration of the subtlety and power of his poetic technique. Still, few studies of his poetry have emphasized his linguistic self-consciousness, his awareness of the verbal medium as a theoretical problem. 1 In a recent study, Philip Silver has given voice to the widespread view that Aleixandre is essentially naive as a poetic thinker. For Silver, the author of La destrucción o el amor typifies the Hispanic poet who, like Antaeus in Greek mythology, derives all of his strength from his ties to the earth (La casa de Anteo 48-156). Aleixandre would thus lack the theoretical self-consciousness that is essential to the modern poet. 2 1 There are several significant exceptions. The most complete treatment of Aleixandre's poetics is Puccini "Modalidades y desarrollos internos de la poética aleixandrina" (148-191). The title of Pope's essay-"Vicente Aleixandre y las limitaciones del lenguaje"-is deceptive, since he says very little about Aleixandre's linguistic self-consciousness. See also note 4.
