Catherine Davies, emérita professor of Hispanic and Latin American Studies at the University of London, talks about Rosalía de Castro (1837–1885), one of Spain’s finest lyrical poets, certainly the most loved and admired of the nineteenth century. Rosalía de Castro ushered in a new era of modern poetry in Spain, and left an enduring legacy in Spanish literature. She was, as well, a passionate supporter of Galician culture, environmental protection, and marginalized communities.
