Abstract

In a letter of 1939, when the Spanish Civil War had already finished, Menéndez Pidal tells Amado Alonso how he regrets the way “el hogar de trabajo”, that took a great effort and work to found, has been destroyed, in reference to the Center for Historical Studies (Centro de Estudios Históricos). The war had dissolved the group of philologists who lay the foundations of Spanish Philology. During the Spanish post-war period, several young philologists trained in this Center will try to keep the spirit of this institution alive during the decades of the Franco dictatorship, among which were Dámaso Alonso, Rafael Lapesa, Samuel Gili Gaya and Alonso Zamora Vicente.
