Antonio Montoro and San Juan de la Cruz

The aim of this article is to illustrate the importance of the life and work of San Juan de la Cruz in the literature of the poet, novelist and playwright Antonio Montoro (1884-1966), an author whose artistic figure has not yet been recovered with all the attention he deserves. In our work we will proceed to comment on the different writings that Montoro wrote about the mystic of Fontiveros, also offering extensive textual fragments still unpublished, with the aim of studying the link between Montoro's literary ideas and the great Spanish Golden Age tradition.
