  • This is a study of how Franco’s public persona was initially constructed in the propaganda of the regime, particularly in close relationship to the expectations and identity of the social groups that had been victorious in the civil war. Through a series of journalistic and literary texts, which starkly contrast with what happened with other fascist leaders, we see the unique glorification of a militaristic identity for Franco (surprisingly after nearly forty years of an antimilitary intellectual tradition) –authoritative and paternal– as well as an appeal to historical mythification of questionable quality.
