Vicente Blasco Ibáñez: anti-Semitism among orange trees

Authors

  • Orfeo Balboa Universitat de València

Abstract

The dialogue of Blasco Ibáñez, sometimes radical, controversial, and strongly anti-clerical, was at certain moments also openly antisemitic. I analyse the basis of Blasco Ibáñez’s Judeophobia by studying the evolution of his anti-Jewish prejudice before and after the Dreyfus affair, and his difficulty in overcoming its most classical and traditional dimensions.
