Resum
José Joaquín de Mora (1763–1864), an academic, a politician and a writer, is one of those figures of nineteenth–century Spain that has been rather neglect-ed by Spanish critics and literary historiographers whereas South–American scholars have extensively highlighted his relevant role for the cultural and political progress of the former Spanish colonies. Although his literary stand has been a source of controversy as either Neoclassic or Romantic, his task as dis-seminator of British literature and culture has been indisputable. This paper explores the impact of British late eighteenth and early nineteenth–century poetics on Mora‘s thought.
