Los valores literarios by Azorín
"Los valores literarios" by Azorín is a literary critique written in the early 20th century. This work examines the evolution of literary values and explores the relationship between contemporary literature and classical texts, particularly reflecting on the Spanish literary tradition. Azorín's text serves as a conversation pivoting around the literary contributions of figures such as Cervantes and the modern implications of their work. The opening of "Los valores literarios" introduces the author’sintentions and the philosophical underpinnings of his critique. Azorín begins by referencing Stendhal’s commentary on the essence of the 19th century, which he juxtaposes against the 20th-century Spanish literary scene, suggesting a need to critically assess the old values that continue to dominate. In doing so, he proposes that contemporary writers and thinkers must scrutinize rather than accept these inherited values blindly. He implies that understanding and connecting modern literature with its historical roots—such as Cervantes’ "Don Quijote"—are crucial to grasping the full scope of literary evolution in Spain. This establishes a contemplative tone, inviting readers to reflect on the cultural significance of literature and its ongoing dialogue with history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
