Abstract
As a modest contribution to Mexican cultural history, this article studies the presence of the Spanish writer Antonio de Trueba in Mexico. To achieve this, it analyzes the testimonies on the writer and his works available in the catalog of digitized newspapers and magazines of the Hemeroteca Nacional Digital de México and the Biblioteca Nacional and the Hemeroteca Nacional of Mexico’s catalog (1859-1889). This analysis has led to the consolidation of a small corpus comprised of the author’s poems, short stories and articles; advertisements, obituaries, and works’ volumes, as well as news pieces and texts alluding to Trueba’s works. On the one hand, this research highlights the role of Spanish publishers as cultural entrepreneurs and their importance as mediators in promoting the consumption and circulation of Spanish literature during the Republic. On the other hand, it also displays how the conservatives applauded his works and how they encumbered him as a model that the new Mexican literature could follow.
