Abstract

This essay aims to review literary journalism both in Catalan and American Modernism, specifically through the works of Ruben Dario and Santiago Rusinol, in order to achieve a better understanding of the contemporary idea of literary Cosmopolitanism. The framework to support this analysis goes from Desde el Molino, written by Rusinol in Paris between 1890 and 1894, to the chapter devoted to Barcelona by Dario in Espana contemporanea, written between 1899 and 1901. Reading these works as journalistic reflections on Modernity and Cosmopolitanism also calls for considering the reactions against them, both from a political and aesthetic perspective, by some prominent Spanish writers. In this respect, the fin-de-siecle Catalan and American literature may be a key aspect concerning a redefinition of the cultural history of literary Cosmopolitanism.
