The 1977 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the Spanish poet Vicente Aleixandre (1898–1984) "for a creative poetic writing, which illuminates man's condition in the cosmos and in present-day society, at the same time representing the great renewal of the traditions of Spanish poetry between the wars."[1][2] Aleixandre is the first Spanish author living in Spain to win the prize since before General Franco established his four-decade-long civil war of the 1930s because the 1956 recipient Juan Ramon Jimenez was a Spanish Civil War exile living in Puerto Rico.[1][3]
