Abstract
-
Felix Urabayen's presence in America, his biography and what the critics have said about his three "Novelas toledanas" ( Toledo: Piedad Toledo la despojada, Don Amor volvio a Toledo), as well as his personality, ideology and literary style, and an updated bibliography with more than 75 new entries are the main chapters that compose this thesis.;Felix Urabayen was born on June 10, 1883 in Navarra, where he spent his childhood. Later he moved to Toledo when he was 28 years old and there he married a wealthy bride. He wrote all his works while living in Toledo and moved out in 1936 due to the Civil War. He also wrote articles that he called "Estampas" which were published in a leading Madrid newspaper: El sol.;He was a sympathizer of the Republic and an admirer of Manuel Azana. At the end of the Spanish Civil War he was incarcerated and spent three years in prison, being released in 1942. Shortly afterwards he died in Madrid, at age 59.;Difficult to identify as belonging to any particular group or literary generation, some critics have associated Urabayen to the "Generacion del 98", which the author profoundly detested; and, although he certainly has some of the characteristics of that generation, his literary works have a touch of modernism and sometimes a very sober and classical prose with traces of the XIX century novel, particularly that of Perez Galdos.;He was praised during his lifetime, in his own country and abroad, and his books were translated into French and English; today, however, his books are practically forgotten. This thesis tries to awake a now interest In the works of Felix Urabayen.
