The present dissertation aims at identifying the silva as a rhetorical and literary genre in diachrony from Antiquity to Modernity – from its genesis in Rome with Publius Papinius Statius (1st century), until its reception by Francisco de Quevedo (16th century) in the Spanish Golden Age. At the same time, this work also examines the imitation made by the Italian humanist writers Angelo Poliziano and Lorenzo de’ Medici (15th century), who rehabilitate the poetry form in the Renaissance, after a long disappearance. For this task, first, this study seeks to locate and identify the proper elements of these compositions as belonging to the super-genre of lyric, using Gregory Hutchinson’s concept of supergenre (2013). In a second moment, it verifies the permanence of the classical silva in the above-mentioned authors, applying the contributions of Charles Martindale’s theory (1993) on the permanence and reception of Classical poetry and the “horizon of expectations” conceived by Hans Robert Jauss’s Reception theory (1993), since both understand the text as something dynamic, which modifies and is modified by the past. To carry out the analysis, this work recognizes the intertextual relations between elements, as Gian Biagio Conte and Alessandro Barchiesi (2010) proposed, in a comparative way, in three pairs of silvas from Statius and Quevedo. The research concludes that the status of the silva within the super-genre of lyric is justified by the thematic variation of Hellenistic lyric. Moreover, the imitation of this literary genre in later periods acts according not only to the nomenclature used by the Latin poet, but also to the heterogeneous types of literary forms with mixed character and content, the high recurrence of mythological quotations, and the tendency for epideictic rhetoric subjects – for all that, a silva can fit in the readers' judgement and horizon of expectations, laying the fondations of the literary genre. Therefore, this study argues that the generic development and establishment of the silva is found in the imitative aspect that it has acquired since Antiquity and its prestige also can be attested by the later importance that the compositions have achieved in Italian and Iberian Modernities.
