The Contributions of Clarín in El Liberal in Light of Eight Unplushed Letters by Miguel Moya

Abstract

In this paper I analyze and edit eight letters of Miguel Moya and Leopoldo Alas, “Clarín”, which throw new light on the writing and journalistic edition at El Liberal of several of the most notable tales of the Asturian writer, a corpus of his production still lacking in detailed study. On the other hand, they reveal Clarín’s complex relationships with its editors, to whom he tried to impose his criteria. And, finally, they discover another aspect of the famous author of La Regenta: his generous attitude and solidarity with other colleagues, such as Tomás Tuero and Luis París.
