Users may browse the collection alphabetically or chronologically by poet, or by century (beginning with works from the 13th century).

This Web site is devoted to the 'Generación del '27', a group of Spanish poets and writers who achieved fame and notoriety in the early 20th century. The site acts as a good introduction to the writers considered to form part of this generation, explaining the cultural and historical context of their work and their shared philosophies. Most of these writers stayed at Madrid's Residencia de Estudiantes at some point in their lives, considered to be Spain's first cultural centre (Dalí and Buñuel were also among the residencia's famous guests), and shared aesthetic affinities such as the influence of Góngora, cubism, Paul Valéry. The site points out that despite crossovers in trajectories, each poet's work was unique.
