Biography

Born on Vinaròs (province of Castellón) on 28 May 1873, he moved young with his family to San Sebastián.[1]

In his capacity as journalist he wrote in several newspapers such as ABC (1908–1940), La Vanguardia (1914–1936) El Pueblo Vasco (1920–1936) or La Nación (1914–1940).[2]

His distinctive conservative agnosticism was a rara avis among the Spanish right wing ranks.[3] Salaverría received influences from Charles Maurras; those were reflected in La afirmación española, where Salaverría advocated for a traditionalist and anti-Europeanist brand of nationalism.[4] While sometimes included in the Generation of '98, this labelling is found to be questionable by many.[5] He was a prominent basher of most noventayochistas, directing a campaign against the likes of Joaquín Costa, Miguel de Unamuno and Ramiro de Maeztu, only saving Azorín and Ángel Ganivet from his criticism.[6]

He died on 28 March 1940 in Madrid.[7]
