Miguel de Unamuno is remembered in literature for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Miguel de Unamuno as Spanish poet (1864-1936).
Miguel de Unamuno was born in 1864. His recorded nationality is Spain. He was educated at Universidad Central and Complutense University of Madrid.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
The record gives his occupations as poet, philosopher and writer.
His affiliations include University of Salamanca.
Among his principal works are Del sentimiento trágico de la vida and Mist. Books outlive their reviews, and the ones that last are seldom the ones that sold.
His recorded fields of work are philosophy.
His work was formally recognised with the honorary doctorate of the University of Salamanca and doctor honoris causa from the University of Grenoble.
Working from Spain shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Miguel de Unamuno died in 1936 at the age of 72. The work outlived the arguments around it.
