The Generation of 98: The Shapers of the Generation of 27 and of Modern Spain
The "Generation of 98" is one of the most distinctive and brilliant generations of Spanish Thinkers, who came to their intellectual maturity around the time of the Spanish American War and who, with heavy hearts, witnessed the final lost of the Spanish Empire. They all became "public intellectuals" whose writings, meant for the general public and not just for academicians, analyzed Spanish history, culture, and character in a relentless search for the causes of the national catastrophe of 1898. They also strived to pierce into the future to show how Spain, humiliated by the U.S. and stripped of her last imperial trappings, could once again be true to herself and keep having an impact on the rest of the world, this time not by her mighty military and economy power but by the strength of her character and the universality of her vision and culture.
