Recepción de Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly en España

Abstract

One of the most unknown works today by Barbey d’Aurevilly, whose material history is notably complex, gained instant recognition in the Spanish fiction panorama. Ce qui ne meurt pas (1884), that same year of the second edition, became Lo que no muere, published by Ricardo Perez (Madrid, El Cosmos Editorial). This article presents the results of a first study about the history of Barbey’s reception in Spain, centring on this remarkable novel and based on the editorial history of the original work and its translation to trace the history of its reception, especially from the 19th and early 20th century French and Spanish periodical sources.
