This paper examines the classification of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer as a Romantic author. The Romantic period in Spain is a topic of much debate, and recently whether or not Bécquer can be considered part of the Romantic movement has come into question. This paper addresses some of the questions related to this debate, and attempts to demonstrate the Romantic elements present in Bécquer's writings.
