This book analyses the questions of aesthetics, gender and sexuality as they are addressed in Luis Cernuda's last four books of poetry - Como quien espera el alba, Vivir sin estar viviendo, Con las horas contadas and Desolación de la Quimera - and has three main objectives: firstly, to offer new readings of subjects that are well established within Cernuda criticism, such as the figure of the poet, mythology, the Absolute, nature, and the divine; secondly, to focus on the questions of male homosexuality and the sublime to which Cernuda's critics have directed little sustained attention; and, thirdly, to introduce into the secondary literature on Cernuda's work the issues of gender, sexuality and perversion with which critics have not engaged at all.
