Description
Summary:This article analyzes the relevance of satire in the political culture of the first Spanish republicanism through the figure of Juan Martínez Villergas (1817-1894), the best known satirist of mid-nineteenth century Spain. It points out the meaning and usefulness of this literary genre for this political culture. Likewise, it highlights how the confluence between political and literary activities configured a certain model of revolutionary poet and a certain understanding of literature that began to be questioned and cornered in postrevolutionary Spain, under the cultural hegemony of Spanish “respectable” liberalism.
