Chec to the King, hero game: Vicente Blasco Ibáñez from París, betwin the heroification and the republic
Abstract
Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, founder of one of the most important Republican movements of the Spain of the first third of the 20th century, was high stakes to the status of hero and symbol of republicanism. The great novelist, journalist and politician, used that charism to launch a fierce attack against the monarchy of Alfonso XIII and the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera from 1923. He did it with the help of his Secretary Carlos Esplá and through the press and sarcastic pamphlets. The influence of these roles contributed, in turn, to the Republican glorification of Blasco after the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic.
