Abstract
This article explores the relationship between the modernista movement, led by Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío, and Catholic expression in Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century through an analysis of El Tiempo Ilustrado, edited by Victoriano Agüeros. The primary objective of this publication was to create a magazine that documented Mexican national culture, strongly influenced by the Catholic church. However, the aesthetic authority of modernismo of that period, along with Darío’s prestige, permeated the magazine’s pages, resulting in a negotiation between the cosmopolitan secular movement and the religious goals of the publication. This study examines how Catholicism influenced Darío, modernismo, and its poetic expression. It also analyzes how this aesthetic movement engaged with the most popular Catholic publication in Mexico at the time.
