The History of Spanish Literary Historiography. Gerardo Diego's "Historia literaria"

Abstract

Inside the reflection about Spanish literary thought in the twentieth century, the analysis of the Spanish Literary Histories plays a very important role. For this reason, we suggest a reflection about the importance of the discipline of the Spanish Literary Historiography and we propose the necessity of activating the writing of a History of the Spanish Literary Historiography. In this case, our modest contribution to this desirable work takes us to introduce and to characterize Gerardo Diego’s not very well- known Literary History.
