Overview
The first books of a new generation of poets appeared in the period 1920-1930. The last to appear was Cántico (1919-1928) in 1928. Its appearance had been eagerly awaited by 'unos breves núcleos de fervorosos admiradores', who were not disappointed by the generally favourable reception of the book:
Con la publicación de este elegante volumen se integra el cuadro de nuestra generación poética actual. Su autor, hasta ahora inédito-sólo accesible en el área limitadísima de las más alertas minorías intelectuales-nos brinda el fruto de su paciente, sabio y disciplinado adiestramiento, en una obra de múltiples e imponderables valores.
As Luis Cernuda rightly pointed out neither Presagios nor Cántico 'parece un libro primero ... tras de ambos volúmenes es lógico suponer una serie de composiciones que sus autores destruyeron o que al menos dejaron inéditas'. The significance of the differences between the four editions of Cántico has been well documented. No less significant is the process of rewriting and revision which preceded the first edition of that work.
