Abstract
- With a few exceptions, critics have usually avoided or made very slight references to “Quetzalcóatl”, Cernuda’s long narrativepoem about the Conquest of Mexico, and very often have felt embarrassed or uncomfortable about it apologetic tones and its cynical approach to violence. A close study of the sources that Cernuda handled and the context from which he wrote his poem, as well as the rhetorical devices at work on the text, nevertheless, can be a help to make its meaning more apparent and counteract this embarrassment and this uncomfort.<br />Con escasas excepciones, la crítica siempre ha aludido de pasada a “Quetzalcóatl”, el largo poema de narrativo de Cernuda sobre la Conquista de México, y ha sentido perplejidad e incomodidad ante su tono apologético y su tratamiento cínico de la violencia. Un estudio de las fuentes que manejaba Cernuda para su recreación de la España de los Austrias, así como del contexto desde el que escribía y del armazón retórico del poema, sin embargo, ayuda a concretar su significado y paliar parte de esa perplejidad y esa incomodidad
