Summary "Legends, Tales and Poems" by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer is a collection of writings that likely originated during the late 19th century, encapsulating the essence of Spanish Romanticism. This anthology is framed as an introduction to Spanish literature, where the editor, Everett Ward Olmsted, emphasizes Bécquer's charm and originality through captivating legends, tales, and poems, aimed to engage students and enhance their appreciation for the rich tapestry of Spanish culture. The opening of this collection begins with a heartfelt preface from the editor, outlining the purpose of the volume as a resource for English-speaking students. Here, Olmsted expresses his intent to present Bécquer's work as a delightful means to stimulate interest in Spanish literature, emphasizing both his prose and poetry. The text transitions into vivid descriptions of the locations and moments from Bécquer's youth, particularly invoking the enchanting landscape of Seville along the Guadalquivir River, entwined with his dreams and poetic ambitions. The narrative gives readers a glimpse of Bécquer's reflections on his life, innocence, and longing for artistic recognition, setting a tone of nostalgia that permeates his works and inviting readers to delve deeper into his romantic and often melancholic themes.
