Explores how Spanish modernity was forged through the “legitimization of the right to novelty,” drawing on Hans Robert Jauss’s theory. She examines the Spanish avant-garde, particularly the Generation of ’27 and Ultraism, and traces how their embrace of innovation ties back to literary debates from as early as 1613 (the Góngora controversy). Davis argues that despite historical distance, these movements overlap in their break with tradition and in redefining what “the new” means within the long arc of Spanish literary modernity.
