Abstract
What are we referring to when we talk about the republican literary exile in 1939? It is possible to segregate this literature from that revolution and from the people that fought for this to become a reality and that suffered so much, the hardship, the death and the exile? The exile is a sub-culture that can be difficultly integrated in the culture of the acceptance country. During Franco's dictatorship it is necessary to consider three different literatures: the literature which was close to the political regime, the one that showed some "cracks" in the regime -we are referring to existentialism and alarmism in the 1940's decade, a kind of literature which started it own breaking-off the regime by the 1950's decade-and finally the literature in the exile. It is necessary to ask if it is correct to write the history of the Spanish literature in the post-war period from an exclusive point of view and to take into consideration a questionable territoriality. As soon as possible it is essential accepting and admitting that the history of the Spanish literature if badly written and badly told.
