Alberto Álvarez de Cienfuegos, a forgotten poet. His beginning on the path of Francisco Villaespesa
Abstract
This paper addresses some aspects of the first era of the poet and playwright Alberto Álvarez de Cienfuegos Cobos (1885-1957), an author of progressive ideas whose literary trajectory was truncated by the irruption of the Franco dictatorship, gradually succumbing to the oblivion of the public and literary history. Given the scarcity of monographic studies published on him, these pages are based on a meticulous bibliographic and journalistic search and on the analysis of his early works, which reveal a certain thematic and stylistic affinity with the modernist poet Francisco Villaespesa, with whom Álvarez de Cienfuegos maintained a close connection since 1910, becoming the main reference to trace his own poetics.
