El vasquismo espiritual de Eladio Esparza

This article analyses Eladio Esparza´s Basquism. Those opinions were published in multiple papers, such as, Diario de Navarra from 1910 to 1923 and from 1929 to 1952, El Pensamiento Navarro in 1911, La Voz de Navarra from 1923 to 1927 and Euzkadi from 1925 to 1929. In addition to being a native Basque speaker, his ideological evolution makes Eladio Esparza a particularly relevant figure. After directing the nationalist paper La Voz de Navarra and closely collaborating with Euzkadi, Eladio Esparza was the main formulator of foral-catholic navarrism in Diario de Navarra. His thesis in favour of spiritual Basquism and against a political Basquism, present in his novel La Dama del Lebrel Blanco are also relevant.
