Tres cartas de Pérez de Ayala a Ortega Munilla (1904-1907)

Abstract

Pérez de Ayala entered editorial and literary Madrid through marginal but innovative publications as well as republican radical press where anything but harmless struggles were being hatched to win the new war for modernism. After his first articles in journals such as El País or in the magazine La Lectura (1902) and his definite incorporation to the Helios group, it did not take long for the Asturian youngman, who always paid attention to his personal consolidation in that literary society, to take refuge in Ortega Munilla’s shelter, what enabled his signature to appear in El Imparcial’s supplement by the beginning of 1904. This is the issue the three letters preserved in the Fundacion Ortega y Gasset respond to, being transcribed in the following pages refered to their most inmediate context.
