Esteban Salazar Chapela en su época: obra literaria y periodística (1923-1939)

Abstract

This paper reconstructs the career of Esteban Salazar Chapela from the very beginning until the end of the civil war. The analysis of such corpus (critical reviews, opinion articles and narrative works) allows to establish the main features of his literary and journalistic works and get to know his aesthetic and ideologic convictions along more than a decade. It also allows to specify the influence that some of the most relevant figures of the mentioned period had in him. José Ortega y Gasset is one of these relevant figures. The study of his links with the main periodical publications of that time, of his intervention in the public debates that arose during the twenties and the thirties and of the personal and professional relationships that he had at that time are helpful in order to set his production and his work in the context in which it developed, a time that has been gone through by following the writer’s footsteps.
