Question

What literary movement did Rubén Darío start?

Answer 1

Rubén Darío is often credited with being a key figure in the Modernismo literary movement in Latin America. This movement emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and sought to innovate and refine Spanish-language poetry, emphasizing aesthetic beauty, musicality, and new forms. Darío’s work, particularly his collection "Azul" (1888), is considered foundational to Modernismo, and he played a crucial role in transitioning Latin American literature towards modern sensibilities.
