Interpretaciones del tópico de la ciudad muerta en la poesía francesa y española

Abstract

In this paper, we examine some interpretations of the «dead town» litterary topic in the French and Spanish poetry of the Fin-de-Siècle. We take into consideration, on the one hand, the relations between this topic and some older usages of the expression «dead town» and, on the other, some of its possible influences on other topics of the Fin-de-Siècle, specifically the gardens.
