After the Spanish Civil War, the defeated Republicans had only two options: to stay in Spain and accept the rule of Franco’s authoritarian regime or to leave their homeland and go into exile. In this program, leading scholars talk about the lives and works of Spain’s dispossessed literary elite, whose voices refused to be silenced. Dramatic readings include excerpts from Rafael Alberti’s “A Traves de la Niebla,” León Felipe’s Español del Éxodo y del Llanto, Luis Cernuda’s “Un Español Habla de Su Tierra,” Rosa Chacel’s “Cultura y Pueblo,” and Ramón Sender’s Réquiem por un Campesino Español.
