Enrique Díez-Canedo (* 1879 in Badajoz , † June 7, 1944 in Mexico ) was a Spanish writer .
Life
After studying law , Díez-Canedo first lived in Madrid and Barcelona , and then in the USA after the Spanish Civil War . He had a lasting influence on Madrid's intellectual life, and was a welcome speaker because of his technically sound and interesting lectures. His theater and literary reviews were very popular with those interested in culture. He worked as a professor and at times also director at the Escuela Central de Idiomas and was also employed in the diplomatic service. In 1935 he became a member of the Spanish Academy. His poetry shows ideal connections to the thoughts of the "generation of 1898", strongly influenced by modernism and with clear references to Rubén Darío and Juan Ramón Jiménez . Works of contemporary literature from France, Italy and England have also left traces in Díez-Canedo's work. His great importance for the Spanish literary history lies less in his artistic activity than in his literary critical work, which is characterized by a wide-ranging education, sober-objective structures of thought and accurate judgment.
