This dissertation studies the rococo and Anacreontic poetry that flourished in the second half of the 18th century in Spain. Each chapter analyzes the recurring personae that poets such as Nicolas Fernandez de Moratin, Juan Melendez Valdes, Jose Cadalso or Jose Iglesias de la Casa crafted in order to portray themselves in their texts. Chapter 1 explores the fusion between inspiration and eroticism as seen in the identification between the artist and Pygmalion, especially in the cycle of poems Galatea o la ilusion del canto by Melendez Valdes. Chapter 2 explores how these poets adapt the classic motif of metamorphoses using as a main example La inconstancia. Odas a Lisi by Melendez Valdes and its renacentist and baroque antecedents. Chapter 3 shows how androgyny plays an important role in the representation of the poetic self in these texts. The Anacreontic mania of the 18th century is studied in the context of the culture of the masquerade that also manifests itself in the paintings of Goya, Tiepolo and Luis Paret in Chapter 4. The identification between the self of the poet and the figure of a child is the focus of Chapter 5, while the representation of the poet as drunkard is the main subject of the last chapter, where the spirit of escapism, the ludic games of metamorphoses and infantilization and the association between poetry and drugs or artificial paradises that are characteristic of the rococo culture are linked together. The analysis of the representations of poetic identity in the anacreontic poetry of the 18th century demonstrates that the idiosyncratic qualities of this poetry that have been sometimes ridiculed can be understood as the product of a particular premodern culture that regarded identity and authorship as malleable, fluid, and non-essential.
