Conceptismo
Conceptismo is a literary style that emerged in Spain during the Golden Age, particularly associated with writers like Francisco de Quevedo. It emphasizes the use of concise and powerful language, focusing on the depth of ideas rather than elaborate descriptions. This style often employs metaphors and wordplay to convey complex thoughts in a succinct manner.
In contrast to Culteranismo, which prioritizes ornate language and intricate syntax, Conceptismo aims for clarity and precision. The goal is to provoke thought and reflection through sharp, insightful expressions. This approach has influenced various forms of Spanish literature and remains significant in understanding the evolution of literary styles.
