Ínsula ( Spanish: Isle) is a magazine which features articles on literary work and literary criticism. Its subtitle is Revista de Letras y Ciencias Humanas. [1] It is based in Madrid, Spain. In terms of format and contents the magazine is similar to the New York Review of Books, [1] and its title is a reference to Spain's isolated status during the post-war period. [2] Eleanor Wright describes Ínsula as one of the most respected independent literary magazines in the post-war period Spain. [3]
Ínsula was established in 1946. [4] [5] The first issue appeared in January 1946. [6] Enrique Canito was the founding editor and also, the director. [6] [7] The Spanish poet José Luis Cano was also instrumental in the foundation of the magazine. [6] He served as deputy director and then, director of the magazine. [8] It is published by Espasa Libros on a monthly basis, and its headquarters is in Madrid. [1] [5]
The magazine has two major periods, from its start in 1946 to 1988 and from 1988 to the present. It focuses on Spanish literature and Portuguese literature. [1] However, in the first period the magazine frequently featured articles about British literature. [9]
Both Spanish and international writers have contributed to Ínsula. [2]
Ínsula was subject to bans during the Franco regime. It was suspended in 1947 due to the publication of José Luis Cano's review of James Joyce's Ulysses. [9] In 1956 Ínsula was also closed down by Spanish authorities due to its November 1955 issue honoring Ortega y Gasset upon his death in 1955. [6] The magazine resumed publication in January 1957. [6]
In 1990 a book entitled La Ínsula Sin Nombre: Homenaje a Nilita Vientós Gastón, José Luis Cano y Enrique Canito was published in memory of the former editors of Ínsula. [10]
