Abstract

Taking as its starting point documents held in different Spanish and French archives and libraries, this paper discusses the activities of Casimiro Monier – entrepreneur, bookseller and owner of a reading cabinet – and his two attempts to found a journal français de Madrid in 1842 and 1843 as a means to reinforce cultural bonds between Spain and France. More specifically, the focus is on the troubled history of his reading cabinet and the less short-lived of his newspapers, L’International, which was active between October and December 1843
