State of the issue of Trilce (1922) of Cesar Vallejo

Abstract

Trilce (1922), poems by the Peruvian writer Cesar Vallejo, was published during a period in which literary works characterized by avant-garde art were disseminated; that is, the irratio­nal, the illogical, the incomprehensible and the innovative. The form predominates over the background or the content, since a metalanguage is established that identifies the author of this type of literary creation. Since then, literary criticism has investigated in terms of this book as a proposal, of which I have highlighted five modalities that comprise the totality of the thematic lines that address their research: syntax, new language, innovative character, influences and avant-garde. These principles are corroborated by way of comparison, di­fferentiation and criticism. Finally, the objective of this article is to recognize the recidivist and expository postulates of this text in order to obtain a classification in this respect and to delimit the elaborated topics and those that remain to be done.
