«En defensa pròpia» is a collection of journalistic articles by Jacint Verdaguer, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
In 1895, Jacint Verdaguer defended himself in the progressive press against accusations, after being isolated by the Marquis of Comillas and his ecclesiastical superiors due to his contacts with visionaries and exorcists. These articles, annotated by Narcís Garolera, are a landmark of Catalan journalism and prose.
The edition belongs to the Ull de Vidre collection and was published on the occasion of the centenary of Jacint Verdaguer's death.
For those studying the work of Jacint Verdaguer or the history of journalism in Catalonia.
Jacint Verdaguer i Santaló was a Spanish writer and priest, regarded as one of the greatest poets of Catalan literature and a prominent literary figure of the Renaixença, a cultural revival movement of the late Romantic era. The bishop Josep Torras i Bages, one of the main figures of Catalan nationalism, called him the "Prince of Catalan poets". He was also known as mossèn (Father) Cinto Verdaguer, because of his career as a priest, and informally also simply "mossèn Cinto".
