History and profile
editThe first issue of El Robespierre Español which was irregularly published appeared in March 1811.[4] Fernández Sardino, husband of Carmen Silva, was the founder of the magazine[5] and had been also the editor-in-chief, but he was arrested due to his alleged anti-patriotic activities during the War of Independence.[1][2] Then Carmen Silva assumed the post.[2] The magazine was based in Isla de León, today Cadiz.[4]
El Robespierre Español adopted an Aristotelian approach towards revolution and described it as a “declaration of public opinion through deeds.”[6] This definition was given in the magazine as a reason for the overthrow of the despotic governments in that such governments had been ruled without taking into consideration the public opinion.[6] The magazine folded in July 1812.[4]
