Between Europe and America. The journalism of Cabral de Noroña. From El Duende Político in Cádiz to El Observador Español in London

Abstract

This article analyzes the journalistic work of the Madeira-born Miguel Cabral de Noroña Madeira from the publication of his Duende Político in Cadiz to the Observador Español in London. It studies the contents of both works as well as the contradictory circumstances in which he was involved, from the radical liberalism of Duende to the absolutist London-based El Observador Español, a magazine contrary to Spanish American independence funded by Spanish absolutism in 1819.
