This thesis attempts to show how the little magazine Carmen (1927-28), and its militant supplement, Lola, together provide evidence of the innovative work of a newly emergent generation of poets in the 1920s. An historical overview of literary events in the decade is given in the first chapter in order to situate the more specific comparisons made in the second chapter with other Spanish periodical reviews which were both precursors and contemporary publications. Chapter three and four are dedicated to an in-depth analysis of the contents of Carmen and Lola. By focusing exclusively upon these somewhat neglected reviews, the intention here is to prove that, as their founding editor, Gerardo Diego, proposed, they are both an important source of documentary history concerning the Generation of 1927 and a fascinating anthology of its poetry.
