THE CAUSES OF EGUREN’S MOTIVOS. CRITICAL BASES, AESTHETIC EXPOSITIONS AND IDEAS ABOUT THE LITERATURE IN JOSÉ MARÍA EGUREN’S MOTIVOS

Abstract

This article analyzes one of the least studied works of the great Peruvian poet José María Eguren, his prose texts which were later assembled under the name of Motivos. The book contains thirty-eight beautiful writings of a panaesthetic nature belonging to Impressionistic Criticism, but with a corpus of theoretical notions which have their origin in German Romanticism and partially in French Symbolism. It suits to highlight also the universal, attractive and very personal stamp that his author gives them.
