Abstract

The researcher, professor of Galician Literature at USC and literary critic María Xesús Nogueira publishes in 2021 two volumes around the figure of Xela Arias, the poet honoured with the Galician Letters Day 2021. This academic note aims to make a comparison between both works, highlighting the analysis of the points in common and looking for the why of the differences, that will arise due especially to the type of public to which each one is oriented. It will also try to examine the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of some of the most problematic characteristics of the biography genre established by Ricardo Senabre (1998) and Arenas Cruz (1998) in these two specific works.
