Grecia was a literary magazine which was published from 1918 to 1920 in Spain. Its subtitle was Revista Decenal de Literatura ( Spanish: Decennial Literature Magazine). [1] Later it was redesigned as Revista de literatura ( Spanish: Literature Magazine). [2] It was a traditionalist as reflected in its title [3] and modernist publication in the early years, but later adopted an avant-garde approach and became the flagship of the ultraísmo.
History and profile
Grecia was established by the Andalusian poet Isaac del Vando Villar in Seville in 1918 as a modernist literary magazine. [4] Its first issue appeared on 18 October 1918. [1] Adriano del Valle was the first editor-in-chief of the magazine which had 24 pages throughout its run. [4]
Although Grecia adhered to modernism, over time it covered the work by writers from distinct literary waves such as futurism, cubism, dadaism and expressionism. [4] The first manifesto of the ultraísmo group was published in the magazine in 1919. [5] The group included Guillermo de Torre, Rafael Cansinos-Asséns, Gerardo Diego and Jorge Luis Borges. [5] Following this incident Grecia became the leading media outlet of the avant-garde in Spain. [6] In addition, it played a significant role in the introduction of the ultraísmo in other Spanish-speaking countries, including Mexico. [5] Pedro Garfias published his poem Domingo ( Spanish: Sunday) in the magazine which was a typical example of the ultraist poetry. [3]
The headquarters of Grecia moved to Madrid in the summer of 1920. [1] [3] During this period Rafael Cansinos-Asséns edited the magazine. Its title page and header was redesigned by Norah Borges to reflect its avant-garde character. [1] [7] The magazine folded in November 1920. [1]
