Abstract

In this study I will be analyzing brief passages of Alfonso Daniel Castelao’s work in order to show the profitability of an ecocritic revision of his artistic and literary production. Starting from basic elements with a transverse presence in his work, I will try to denote the author’s vision in terms of nature and environment. The elements that I am taking into account to try to provide an alternative reading of his work will be the figures of the tree from a landscape-oriented perspective and the cow as seen from animal studies. Furthermore, I will try to offer information about the artistic perspective of the author and then compare the presences of the already mentioned elements in the rest of his works. Finally, I will try to highlight the author’s ecocritic aspect through his legacy.
