La Búsqueda de lo sagrado en la poesía de Ángel Crespo

Resum

This essay entails a diachronic interpretation of the poetry of Angel Crespo (1926-1995) (following the edition Poesía, Valladolid, 1996), as a search for the sacred dimension of the world, developed from within the language. It frames philosophically the questions that the poet answers artistically, in order to show their ethical and philosophical universality. It explains how the poet, by means of the processes of symbolisation, manages to go beyond the edges of language (those of his arbitrariness and conventionality) and to express a conception of the full reality (world and I) gradually wider and more unitarian. As a guide of this evolution, the poetic symbol has a religious meaning and a sense of initiation in the work of Crespo. This thesis studies those aspects from a scientific and not confessional point of view, by relating the poetry of Crespo with the religious anthropology of M. Eliade, the psychology of Jung and the symbolic hermeneutics, from Cassirer to Durand.
