Description: Becquer s Rhymes have become the most well-known of the 19th-century poetry collections. A prime exponent of a lyric poetry that is uncomfortable in the confines of romanticism and almost modernist, these short poems owe their lightness to a zealous effort at stylistic refinement. At the same time, the Legends are fantastic narrations with an intimate, somber tone, based for the most part on popular tales, and form one of the most representative works of Post-Romanticism in Spain.
