Abstract

The objective of this article is to refer to the difficulties that the Francoist censorship placed on the book Escolma posible, edited by Galaxia in 1964, an anthology of texts by Castelao organized by Marino Dónega. Previously, the most relevant features of the image of the author that the dictatorship tried to spread are examined, mainly from the reading of the censorship reports of some of his works. After a thorough review of the Escolma posible file, attention is paid to the contemporary reception that was dispensed to the volume. The most important conclusion reached is that Escolma posible was a project conditioned by the repressive context of the Regime, and not so much by Galaxia's supposed will to promote Castelao's artistic and literary side.
