Eugenio García De Nora. In Memoriam. (Zacos, León, 13 November 1923 - Madrid, 2 May 2018)

Abstract

This obituary pays tribute to Eugenio García de Nora. Part of his career is reflected in 1949, when he arrived as a Spanish reader at the University of Bern, of which he was appointed full professor of Spanish language and Hispanic literature in 1961 and professor in 1966. Nora’s poetic creation is an alternating succession of knowledge, experience and consciousness; a sort of confluence of those three elements. He published several poems; the first, Amor prometido, 1939-45, was followed by others: Cantos al destino (1941-46), Contemplación del tiempo (1946-47), España, pasión de vida (1945-50) and Angulares (1955-64). The preferred genres in his courses were poetry and narrative; and especially the poetry of the mystics the history of literature, literary theory, ancient and classical tradition, rhetoric and poetics.
