Quevedo and Góngora continue with theirs on Twitter

Portraits of Góngora and Quevedo.

One of the historical peculiarities that best marks our literature is the relationship between the different writers who have marked the various eras of our letters.

Logically, although this fact is not genuine in our literature, it was seen in it with a much more significant magnitude. Therefore, there are not many cases in which, in the same city, for example, they coexisted at the same time such illustrious characters as Lope de Vega, Carderón de la Barca, Miguel de Cervantes, Góngora or Quevedo.

Of these last two, their relationship of mutual hatred with their constant reproaches and disqualifications that were processed throughout their lives is more than known.. A tense relationship that has come down to our time thanks to the verses that both of them dedicated and that have become a must if we want to talk about the Spanish golden age.

For all those who feel the same admiration as I do for these two geniuses of our literature and marvel at the names they both dedicated to each other, can, today, continue to enjoy a Quevedo and a Góngora adapted to our century and present in one of the most important social networks that exist today.

What would these two characters have been like if they had had at their disposal Twitter? Well, two profiles of this network intend to return Quevedo and Góngora to our time to, in a satire way and in my opinion brilliant, comment on the current situation with the style of each writer while, logically, both tweets are dedicated «affectionate »So as not to lose his habitual habit.

@QuebeboVillegas and @Gongora_Revixit, In this way you will find these profiles, from my point of view they are a wonderful way to attract the youngest and the less so, to one of the most genuine anecdotes of our literature and its protagonists.

In this world characterized by the total influence of social networks in our society and by experiencing cultural activity in an increasingly virtual way. I see it very positive to keep our literary identity alive in this space.

Therefore, Everything that involves making known writers like Góngora and Quevedo or the history of our literature, in whatever form, must be supported and defended.. It is in our hands, therefore, that initiatives like these have much more weight and influence on the network and not that of Youtubers simpletons with crude performances that incomprehensibly draw millions of followers.
