Abstract

"De máscaras y amores (The overcoming of Petrarchism in the first Gongorine compositions)" attempts to probe an aspect somehow neglected by critics: the attitude adopted by Góngora in his early poetic work. Such attitude consists in taking up a comfortable stance for a narrator who aims to distance himself from the narrative contents and, above all, who from the very beginning tries to distinguish between the poetic I and the existential I. This feature ―common to many of his first compositions― is clearly apparent in the first ballad written by Don Luis, "Ciego que apuntas y atinas" (written in 1580), a real masterpiece in which the I is presented as sceptical, disillusioned with Love.
