Alejandro Finisterre: from “Peregrine Spain” to “American Notebooks”

Abstract

In this text we will address two magazines of utmost importance in Spanish literature and language, which are España Peregrina of 1939 and Cuadernos Americanos of 1942. We start first from the Madrid edition and then follow the same one, but with another name, in Cuadernos Americanos in Mexico. To this end, the Galician inventor, editor, poet and academic, Alejandro Campo Ramírez, will rescue facsimile editions of Cuadernos Americanos at the end of the 20th century, recovering an unparalleled literary heritage of those Spanish academics who emigrated to America either for work, for social and political issues of exile, in the 20th Century.
