Francisco Ureña Navas dating history

Details

Francisco de Paula Ureña Navas (1871–1936) was a Spanish publisher and poet. He was a longtime owner and manager of the Jaén daily El Pueblo Católico (1893–1932) and animated also other, minor and short-lived provincial periodicals. He published one poetic volume, though his numerous poems were scattered across local press titles. As a poet he was recognized mostly in his native Jaén, partially thanks to his own verses and partially thanks to his role as leader of an informal poetic and cultural circle, known as "El Madroño". As a zealous Traditionalist he advanced intransigent Catholicism. Politically throughout most of his life he supported the Integrist cause, in the 1930s amalgamated in the re-united Carlist structures.
