Chapuzones e inmundicias en la fuente Castalia. Metáforas de la creación en la poesía burlesca del siglo xvii

Abstract

Burlesque metaphors of poetic creativity, systematically studied, are not a mere inversion of the traditional topics about inspiration, but they create a new field of meanings that explain the composition process from a more realistic point of view and in a way more understandable for all people. Researching into the network of meanings created from the elements of air, water and fecundation (traditional topics for poetic inspiration) one can conclude that burlesque poetry tries to take poetry in general closer to normal and basic life, and presents itself as the means through which poetry in the Golden Age might be renovated.
