Citing the non-existence of critical literature on the Spanish avant-garde until the late 1980s, Gregori and Herrero-Sen<’e> present their book on the avant-garde cultural practices from 1914 to 1936. Since at least the last decades of the nineteenth century, in opposition to mainstream European practices, Spanish literary criticism has traditionally understood modern literature as a succession of literary generations--cultural groups of writers and intellectuals born about the same time who, supposedly, shared the same views and aspirations, thanks to the influence of Jos<’e> Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955). Gregori and Herrero-Sen<’e>s aim to contribute to the growing critical field of the Spanish avant-garde while also highlighting the new and exciting scholarship offered by hispanists and comparatists working on modern Spanish culture, and to normalize critical conversations on the Spanish avant-garde, allowing a fruitful (re)discovery of Spain in the general culture of European modernism. In sum, the avant-garde in Spain embraces a wide variety of creators, from writers and painters to architects, dancers and filmmakers, whose works exhibit traces of Dadaism, futurism, surrealism, new classicism, romanticism, or new objectivity, among others. The most productive avant-garde scholarship acknowledges its multi-faceted status and traces exchanges inside Spain and abroad while emphasizing the fruitful connections and overlapping between genres, creators, realizations, and the public sphere.
