Talk by Charles David Ley, Senior Lecturer at the British Institute in Madrid since 1943
Charles Ley is the author of several essays and poems that have appeared in Garcilaso and other Spanish and Portuguese publications, and editor of a Spanish re-print of an early first edition of Gil Vicente's 'Ship of Hell' and of an anthology of 'Some Portuguese Voyages' to be published here in the autumn.
Starting from Gerardo Diego's 'Anthology of Spanish Poetry' published in 1931, which contained poems by Garcia Lorca, Alberti, and others, he explains the subsequent development of poetry in Spain up to the present time.
