El sueño de Venecia, by Ángel Crespo

Abstract

It is a diary, largely unpublished, that addresses the stay of the poet, translator and essayist Ángel Crespo, in 1982, as a visiting professor at the University of Venice, where he was accompanied by his wife, Professor Pilar Gómez Bedate. It can also be interpreted as a reading diary, a travel book and a self-portrait, in which special emphasis is given to the reflections on his work, the political situation in Spain and his vision of Spanish poetry from the outside, as well as the relationships he maintained with several Italian scholars.
