Lucía Jerez as a novel of Hispanoamerican Modernism
Hricsina Puškinová, Nina ; Poláková, Dora (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
(in English): This work focuses on the novel titled Lucía Jerez which represents the only novel written by Cuban author, heroe and so-called freedom fighter José Martí. The objective of this work was to prove that this short book rightly can be seen as a modernistic novel and even can be considered as the first one in which all of the modernistic tendencies of new aesthetics are present. Using specific examples from the original novel, I tried to show the importance of this book in the context of the history of Spanish-American literature and to demonstrate several elements of the modernistic creation. Firstly I had proceeded from my personal feelings and beliefs which I later completed by opinions of literary critics. In most cases we concided, but of course there were some points in which my view differed in comparision with a general assertion. Despite these discrepancies in the understanding of some aspects of the book, I think José Martí managed to create a unique work. Lucía Jerez contains everything that is according to theories of modernistic work and Martí also achieved to impress Hispanoamerican character to the book. Even though we can find traces of Romanticism, Lucía Jerez is inherently modernistic work because of its critical approach.
