Abstract

Rubén Darío regularly published his writings over a long time in the newspaper La Nación of Buenos Aires, which had been founded by Bartolomé Mitre in 1870. It was in this paper he published most of the first versions of his prose texts, making it an exceptional source for studying his writing. Based on a thorough review of the newspaper, this work presents a new and extended catalogue of Darío’s articles in the paper. A synthesis of the present state of research on his journalistic texts is followed by a statistical analysis of some relevant formal variables. Finally the criteria used to systematize the catalogue are presented, along with the catalogue itself, which contains 697 entries and explanatory comments.
