Harkema analyzes the literature of the modernist period in Spain in light of the emergence of youth culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHarkema argues for the prominent role played by Miguel de Unamuno—as a poet, essayist, and public figure—in Spanish writers\u0026amp;#x2019; response to this phenomenon. She demonstrates how early twentieth-century Spanish literature participated in the glorification of adolescence and questioning of \u003ci\u003eBildung \u003c\/i\u003eseen elsewhere in European modernism, in ways that were not only aesthetic but also political. Harkema critically re-examines the relationship between Unamuno and several Spanish writers associated with the so-called Generation of 1927 (known as at the time as \"la joven literatura\" or \"the young literature\"). By situating this period within the wider framework of European modernism, \u003ci\u003eSpanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth\u003c\/i\u003e brings to light the central role that the early twentieth century\u0026amp;#x2019;s re-imagining of adolescence and youth played in the development of literary modernism in Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Spain, Modernism, Youth\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCh. 1.
