Abstract

77
The publication of the epic poem by Joaquín de Virués "El Cerco de Zamora" (1832) is one step in Virués' controverses against the Spanish "ilustrados". The poem was preceded by a "Discurso crítico-apologético" in wich Virués disagrees with the opinion of the "ilustrados" about poetry: he rejects the treatises on poetics, the imitation and the classic stereotypes; defends natural poetry and refuses the existence of a specific poetic language; and attacks the Academy and the neoclassic poets. Virués' positions close to Romanticism shows that the literary debate of the 1820's and 1830's is more complex than is usually thought.
