The "Generation of '98" in Spain
The "
Generation of '98" (also called "Generation of 1898", in
Spanish, Generación del 98 or Generación de 1898) was a group of novelists, poets, essayists, and philosophers active in
Spain at the time of the
Spanish–American War. Jose Martínez Ruiz, commonly known as
Azorín, comes up with the name in
1913 to allude to the moral, political, and social crisis produced by Spain's defeat. Writing mostly after
1910, the group reinvigorates
Spanish letters, revives literary myths and breaks with classical schemes of
literary genres. In politics, members of the movement often justify
radicalism and
rebellion.
