摘要：This article offers a new understanding of Spanish «Modernismo» which places this concept in that wider trend of Western culture at the beginning of the 20 th century generally known as «Modernism» in the anglo-saxon world. Beauty is the central concept in this context; it includes characteristics inherited from the French parnasianism and symbolism and, at the same time, it involves a transcendental dimension which derives from the philosophical and theological Modernism, which is contemporary to the literary one. From this theoretical perspective, I aim to analyze a number of critical approaches derived from the concept of beauty, such as metafiction, identity, time or form. They are described briefly through the words of well-known Modernists such as Unamuno, Azorín, Baroja, Valle-Inclán or Machado.
