Abstract

This article deepens the relation between locus amoenus and locus horridus in the representation of space within Manuel Álvarez Ortega’s poetry, as they mirror the signs left by the tragic events of his experience. The idyllic landscape connected with the joyful past that now lives in memories appears more than once, however, the locus horridus representing the apocalyptic vision and reality seems inseparable from it. Both the spaces’ sterility and the symbolic characters that inhabit this unreal world depict an intertextual relationship with T. S. Eliot. It will be proposed a comparative analysis between the Spanish author and Thomas Stearns Eliot through a series of textual examples.
