Revista Contemporánea was a literary and cultural magazine which was published in the period 1875–1907 in Madrid, Spain. The magazine was the first publication in Spain which introduced German and French thought. [1]
The first issue of Revista Contemporánea appeared on 15 December 1875 in Madrid. [2] The founder was José del Perojo who also edited the magazine in the early period. [2] [3] He was a Cuban-born philosopher and political thinker. [3] [4]
Revista Contemporánea featured literary articles in addition to those about humanistic and scientific fields. [2] One of the regular contributors of the magazine was Pedro Estasén under the editorship of Perojo. [4] In 1879 Perojo sold the publication to José de Cárdenas, and Francisco de Asís Pacheco replaced him as the editor of the magazine. [2] Its ideological orientation was liberal until that event, and the magazine became a conservative publication. [1] When it held a liberal view, the magazine frequently featured articles concerning the emancipation of women. [1] From 1901 Juan Ortega y Rubio edited the magazine. [2] The last issue of Revista Contemporánea was published in June 1907 when the owner of the magazine, José de Cárdenas, died. [2]
