- Abstract
Frascisca Larrea lived a time when the Old Regime, despite being threatened with death, gave way to a new political and social order characterized by a change in the distribution of power, which, in the case of Spain, did not cease to generate discussions between the king’s omnipotent empire and those who, on the contrary, were in favor, and between those who, on the contrary, were in favor of enabling different counterweights that would limit the monarch’s actions. In the field of aesthetics, the battle was no less virulent. Indeed, the debates between followers and detractors of classicism increased. The latter agreed the eighteenth-century germinal version of the movement that, already in the first decades of the nineteenth, would be known as Romanticism. During that period of anxiety and uncertainty, marked in Spain by the War of Independence, the writings that we have preserved from our author show her interest in debating and discussing current politics and aesthetics. Under the protection of the controversy, the woman from Cádiz incorporated the aesthetic principles that she defended into her ideology, and with the help of a powerful fantasy, she created the image of an idealized romantic Spanish monarchy of Germanophile against the advances of French liberalism.
