Books by Robert Simon

This book contributes to the ongoing discussion of the place of contemporary Galician writer Blanca Andreu's work within the 1980s post-"novisimo" movement, as part of a larger resurgence of the Surrealist in Spanish poetry and its possible placement in the more recent mystical poetry of Spain.

This book applies Kuhn's paradigm shift theory to the evolution of Spanish and Portuguese societies from the 1950s to the end of the twentieth century, from the perspective of a similar shift in poetry. The paradigm in question is the "postmodern" social (and thus, literary) paradigm popularized during the 1990s.
