Sobre el Grup de Sabadell y los Nova Novorum

In the present paper, from a comparative point of view, the literary roots of two of the most outstanding proposals for the renewal of the Spanish and Catalan narratives in the twenties and thirties are tried to describe. It is possible to find out the parallelisms between the work of Antonio Espina and Francesc Trabal in the dialogue with the aesthetical experience of the European vanguards to which they are linked by the narrative folly of their own contracdictions. Having in consideration the possibilities offered by the poem in prose or the microromance, similar responses could be traced between the «Grup of Sabadell» and the «Nova Novarum». In this way, Pájaro Pinto (1927) and Luna de copas (1929), by Espina, and L' home que es va perdre (1929) or Judita (1939) by Trabal will be analyzed together.
