Francisco Maria Tubíno: Between Federalism and Iberianism
Francisco Maria Tubíno: Between Federalism and Iberianism
The chapter focuses primarily on the work Historia del renacimiento literario contemporáneo en Cataluña, Baleares y Valencia (1880) by Francisco María Tubino and especially on the issue of Iberianism as an outcome of political Federalism in the Iberian peninsula. Tubino disapproved (or simply ignored) a true “Iberian” standpoint. Nevertheless his opinion about Catalonia, its language and literature, is open-minded and quite new for his time (1880), especially for a man deeply involved in the Spanish political milieu on behalf of “la madre España”. The chapter also focuses on Patria y Federalismo, which was written some years before (1873) the Historia. This work focuses on some of the political outcomes to which the Historia provides the cultural background. In Patria y Federalismo his position concerning Federalism and Spain is clearly explained in terms like the following: “with regard to demonstrating that such a regime does not run contrary to the unity of the country, my wish was to reconcile its institutions with the recognition of individual rights. My approach stems from this”.
