Lezama: on the Threshold of the Coming God
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
I analyze Lezama Lima’s poetics with regards to the German literary theory of the Goethezeit. I address in the first part of the article the relationship between Lezama’s concepts of “señor barroco” and "eras imaginarias”, and Schiller’s theories on Naive and Sentimental poetry. The second part focuses on the relationships between the Neue Mythology and the mythical/mysterious features of José Cemí in Paradiso (1966). I try to illuminate the works of Lezama by reading them through the German thought of the Goethezeit, i.e. through the core of the literary and philosophical theory of Modernity.
