Ramón Pérez de Ayala y la Hispanic Society: nueva documentación y un poema inédito

Abstract

This paper introduces new documentation on the relationship, continued throughout his life, between the writer Ramón Pérez de Ayala and the Hispanic Society of America and its founder, the U.S. hispanophile Archer M. Huntington. An unpublished poem and forgotten correspondence has been recovered in the archives of the Society as well as from the pages of the newspaper La Prensa of New York where several newspaper articles (as an interview, a review of a conference or short texts by Ayala) had been published. All this new information allows us to know much better the Asturian writer's second stay in the United States and its connection to the American institution that sponsors the Hispanics in the United States.
