A biographical and critical study of the Spanish poet Manuel
Machado (1874-1947), who was highly thought of in his lifetime but
who, since his death, declined in popularity. His brother, Antonio,
whom he once overshadowed, became more widely read. The first half
of the book is biographical, setting Machado against the general
literary background in Spain, and estimating his debt to French
influence. Dr Brotherston deals in some detail with the Modernista
movement, so that the study is almost an account of Spanish
literary life of the time. The second half of the book is critical;
Dr Brotherston wishes to show the fine quality of certain poems,
and to affirm Machado's real importance and distinction. The
generous bibliography will be useful to readers closely concerned
with Machado and his period.
