PEREZ ALVAREZ, Álvaro  e  MARTINEZ ILLIAN, Antonio. Journalism in the New Biography in Spain during the 20s: Pla, González-Ruano and Gómez de la Serna. Humanidades (Montevideo. En línea) [online]. 2020, n.7, pp.219-242.  Epub 01-Jun-2020. ISSN 1510-5024.  https://doi.org/10.25185/7.8.

This article studies the writing of the biography of three writers and journalists in Spain in the years prior to the Second Spanish Republic and until the beginning of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The new biography, a type of literary biography or novella following the European model of Lytton Strachey, Virginia Woolf, André Maurois or Stefan Zweig also arrived in Spain. At that moment, there was a turning in the way of telling the story of a person’s life: the biographer selected only important scenes in the life of the biography, delving into psychology to the detriment of the story of events and characterizing the characters using techniques from the novel. The biographies of Josep Pla, César González-Ruano and Gómez de la Serna are good examples of this.
