History and profile

El Globo was launched by Emilio Castelar, a Spanish politician, in Madrid in 1875, and its first issue appeared on 25 March 1875. [1] Its political stance was moderate-possibilist republicanism. [2] [3] In 1885, another Spanish politician, Eleuterio Maisonnave, acquired the paper. [1] The next owner was Álvaro de Figueroa, who bought El Globo in 1896, [1] changing its political stance to liberal monarchism. [4] The paper was sold to the Catalan deputy Emilio Ríus y Peniquet in 1902. [1] Its last owner was Magdaleno de Castro. [1]

El Globo published a literary supplement entitled Plana del Lunes in 1897–1898. [5] Due to lower circulation levels, the frequency of the paper was switched from daily to twice per week in 1923. [1] Under the ownership of Magdaleno de Castro, it was published on a weekly basis. [1] The final issue of El Globo was published on 31 May 1932. [1]

El Globo was directed by Joaquín Martín de Olías from 1877. [1] Between 1890 and 1896, the paper was directed by Alfredo Vicenti Rey. [1] Its major contributors included Francisco Navarro Ledesma, Andrés Ovejero, Baldomero Argente, Manuel Castro Tiedra and Manuel Tercero. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Carlism in literature</span>

On March 21, 1890, at a conference dedicated to the siege of Bilbao during the Third Carlist War, Miguel de Unamuno delivered a lecture titled La última guerra carlista como materia poética. It was probably the first-ever attempt to examine the Carlist motive in literature, as for the previous 57 years the subject had been increasingly present in poetry, drama and novel. However, it remains paradoxical that when Unamuno was offering his analysis, the period of great Carlist role in letters was just about to begin. It lasted for some quarter of a century, as until the late 1910s Carlism remained a key theme of numerous monumental works of Spanish literature. Afterward, it lost its appeal as a literary motive, still later reduced to instrumental role during Francoism. Today it enjoys some popularity, though no longer as catalyst of paramount cultural or political discourse; its role is mostly to provide exotic, historical, romantic, and sometimes mysterious setting.
