Abstract

After Spain's defeat in the Spanish-American war in 1898, its national power plummeted. The glory of the past no longer exists, and this huge contrast is an unacceptable shame for intellectuals. With the purpose and ambition of saving the country, a group of young scholars gathered together to jointly create a precedent in the history of Spanish literary creation, which is known as the "generation of 98". Spanish "generation 98" literature occupies an important position in the history of Spanish literature and world literature. Through the study of the characteristics of this generation's literary creation, we can better understand the various social forms of Spain at that time and the new changes of Spanish literary creation under the influence of the latest European thoughts at that time.
