Abstract

Within the critical essays of Leopoldo Alas it is necessary to analyze the contrast between his praise of the French influence in Catalan modernism, and his dismissal of American modernism with a snobbishness that corresponds – in a repeated and paradoxical way – to that same French influence that he usually qualifies as desirable for Barcelona. In the contrast to his opposing views on both groups, perhaps the most obvious mechanisms of “Clarín”’s nationalism can be traced, in their contradiction between the impulse to preserve the Hispanic tradition and the struggle to recognize the emancipating character of new foreign thought.
