| Sumario: | In 1820 the Spanish General Rafael del Riego called for the return of the Constitution of Cádiz (1812), awakening thereby the aspirations held by German liberals, who wished for more democracy in the period of the Restoration. The conservatives, in turn, considered the Spanish revolution, which soon reached Italy, Portugal and Greece, a big menace and tried to avoid its spread to central Europe. In spite of the fact that censorship had been decreed in German speaking territories, the liberals managed to disseminate their political stance in the press, whereas conservatives presented arguments against the constitutional model. To a lesser extent the political feeling was also present in the literature produced at the time. The German poet and botanist of French ancestry Adelbert von Chamisso, for instance, showed keen interest in the political development in Europe, reflecting a liberal body of thought in his poetry. Thus, many of his poems address social problems of his time such as lack of freedom, social inequality and injustice. Chamisso?s political position was doubtless influenced by the incidents in Spain and Greece. In this paper we will analyse examples of his poetry, where the author alludes directly or allegorically to the Mediterranean revolutions. |
