Ínsula is a Spanish magazine which features articles on literary work and literary criticism. Its subtitle is Revista de Letras y Ciencias Humanas.[1] It is based in Madrid, Spain. In terms of format and contents the magazine is similar to the New York Review of Books.[1]

History and profile[]

The magazine was established in 1946.[2][3] The first issue appeared in January 1946.[4] Enrique Canito was the founding editor.[4] The Spanish poet José Luis Cano was also instrumental in the foundation of the magazine.[4] He served as deputy director and then, director of the magazine.[5] It is published by Espasa Libros on a monthly basis.[3] Its headquarters is in Madrid.[1] [3]

The magazine has two major periods, from its start in 1946 to 1988 and from 1988 to the present. It focuses on Spanish and Portuguese literary work.[1]

In 1956 Ínsula was closed down by Spanish authorities due to its November 1955 issue honouring Ortega y Gasset upon his death in 1955.[4] The magazine resumed publication in January 1957.[4]
