La presencia de la fábula clásica en Miguel de Unamuno. Entre la crítica y el intertexto

Abstract

Unamuno’s interest in Classical fables, mainly those influenced by Aesopus, goes beyond the alleged fable’s morals. After practising a meticulous analysis of its elements and also an effective critique, he theorized about what surrounded the genre: its structure, its teachings, etc.; but he also assimilated Aesopus’ fables to his own works under different genres and adapted them to his interests as well as illustrated intertextuality.
