Hora de España (Spanish: Spain's Hour) was a monthly literary magazine which was published in Valencia, Spain, by the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. The subtitle of the magazine was Poesía y crítica (Poetry and criticism).[1] It existed between January 1937 and October 1938.

History and profile

[edit]

Hora de España was first published in January 1937.[2] The founders were a group Spanish intellectuals led by Luis Cernuda and Juan Gil-Albert.[3] The magazine was published on a monthly basis.[1] It featured poetry, drama and essays on contemporary literature.[4] Major contributors were the members of the Generation of '27, including Emilio Prados, Dámaso Alonso, León Felipe, Miguel Hernández, Antonio Machado, Rafael Alberti and Rosa Chacel.[4][5][6] Hora de España was subject to criticisms over its passive political stance.[7] The magazine ended publication in October 1938 shortly before the exile of its founders.[2][3]
