Summary

La obra de Gabriel Miró (Alicante, 1879–Madrid, 1930) ha sido estudiada en bastante profundidad a lo largo de los años, como puede desprenderse de una simple (h)ojeada a la bibliografía crítica. Sin embargo, con la misma facilidad puede uno apreciar cómo se le ha encasillado, para bien o para mal —para criti-carle o para alabarle—, como estilista, lírico o poeta en prosa, y todavía hoy es éste el punto de vista que se impone en los manuales. Gonzalo Navajas se ha referido recientemente a la preocupación de los escritores de comienzos del siglo XX por ‘a mastery of language’, de modo que la elegancia ‘often became the predominant, or even the sole reason for writing’. Y señala que Miró ‘expanded and developed this tendency towards contemplation and refinement that turned texts into exquisite objets d'art in accordance with an essentialist aesthetic far removed from the immediate circunstancia of the day’. Una lectura así supone negarle a Miró la condición de novelista, al tomar sus obras como meras prosas sin arquitectura narrativa, y da a entender que no hay en sus escritos contenido ideológico, cultural, social, político o económico, esto es, circunstancial.

Para entender cómo llegó Miró a ser encasillado de este modo, es fundamental el análisis de Macdonald sobre la recepción de su obra en su propio tiempo.
