Abstract:
Joaquim Rubió i Ors is a poet very present in the histories of Catalan literature but his poetry is totally unknown, outside the academic and scholarly circles, having enjoyed an unusual popularity that later has been denied to him, until falling almost the totality of his work in the most absolute oblivion, like the vast majority of the poetry of the 19th Century until Jacint Verdaguer, due to an accumulation of aesthetic prejudices that have been created throughout the 20th Century. This thesis represents the first in-depth biographical study of the poet and the first complete edition of his poetry in Catalan since his death. Since 1902, the date of publication of the fourth volume of the third edition of Lo Gaiter del Llobregat, begun in life and finished posthumously by his son Antoni Rubió i Lluch, his poetry has only been published in anthologies, and always the same half a dozen poems, except for the edition I made myself in 2006 for Edicions 62 with the poems of the first Gaiter. The thesis proposes and justifies a text based on the study of the different manuscripts and the different editions made during the poet's lifetime.
