Abstract

The article has two parts. The first part is a comprehensive compilation of literary works in history about old age with the aim of examining how it has been considered in the European literary tradition and establishing parallelisms and differences with Reflexions de la vellesa. The second part focuses on Anna Murià’s posthumous diary, an intimate reflection on old age through her own experience and perspective, which makes it a unique sample.

Abstract

Anna Murià’s work is on the margins of Catalan exile literature. This article, conceived within the theoretical framework of autobiographical literature, is an attempt to contribute to the clearing up of some of the keys to its interpretation. The fictional and testimonial work of the author makes up a coherent and original autobiographical space.

Abstract

The objective of this article is to follow Anna Murià’s publicist trajectory in the period between 1936, the year in which she joins Diari de Barcelona and in 1939, when she started the path of exile towards France. We want to confirm the existence of an important ideological and political production during these years in the main media of that time. The study of this period, the most unknown of the author, provides new data and is interesting given the significant change that the outbreak of war and the subsequent exile caused in the life of the author, noticeable both from the ideological and personal point of view, which clearly affected her work.
