They particularly admired Góngora (1561-1627) and it was their commemoration of the anniversary of his death that earned them the title Generación del 27. The Generación del 98 was the name coined by Azorín for a group of writers (Baroja, Machado, Unamuno, Maeztu, Ganivet, and himself, amongst others) who saw Spain's defeat in the Cuban American war of 1898 as the start of a decline in values. While not all the supposed members of the group accepted their inclusion in it, their work demonstrates shared themes, ideals and concerns.* * *1)a) ( de una familia) generationb) (Art, Lit) generationc) (Inf) generation2) ( acción) generation* * *1)a) ( de una familia) generationb) (Art, Lit) generationc) (Inf) generation2) ( acción) generation* * *generación11 = generation.Ex: Information retrieval follows from the generation of an index.

They began to question the identity of Spain, and this was reflected in a certain pessimism in their work, though they also celebrated what they held to be its distinctive values. These authors subsequently became known as the Generación del 98, and included many of Spain's greatest writers, such as the philosopher Unamuno (1864-1936), the prolific novelist Pío Baroja (1872-1956) and the poet Antonio Machado (1875-1939).* * *f generation* * *generación nf, pl - ciones1) : generationtercera generación: third generation2) : generating, creating3) : classla generación del '97: the class of '97* * *generación n generation -
