The theory of Pablo Neruda's poetic and political conversion during the Spanish Civil War suggests that the poetry of the Chilean Nobel Laureate prior to this event was devoid of any political signifi cance, while his subsequent poetry was oriented by his Marxist ideology. In this article I explore the development of Neruda's early social consciousness in his poetry and prose written prior to the publication of Crepusculario in 1923 The term I use to characterize his political beliefs is "social justice," and I pay special attention to the role of Neruda's uncle Orlando Mason in his formation.
