Generación decapitada
The Generación decapitada (Spanish for "Beheaded/Decapitated Generation") was a literary group formed by four young
Rimbaud, and Verlaine
—in the original French.
The group is called "decapitada", or decapitated, because each member committed suicide at a young age.[1] Though they knew each other and dedicated poems to each other, they never met together to create a true literary group. The term "generación decapitada" originated in the middle of the 20th century, when Ecuadorian journalists and historians decided to name them, noting similarities in the authors' poetry.
