Ecos cervantinos en la obra de Rubén Darío // Echoes of Cervantes in the works of Rubén Darío
Abstract
The main objective of the present study is to focus on Don Quixote’s presence in the poetic and prosaic texts of Rubén Darío, written during his residence in Europe while he was working as a correspondence clerk in Spain and then in France. The author analyzes these texts within the wider context of the Spanish literature of that time and the poet’s work in general. She contemplates the motivation of these texts and searches for the answer to the following question: What role does Cervantes and his great novel play in Darío’s work?
