AB This article explores the background to Mariano Jose de Larra’s ‘Día de Difuntosde 1836’ (‘All Souls’ Day, 1836’). In particular, it considers Larra’s mockery of thesymbolic death of the Spanish Inquisition as a belated, timid gesture, a reminder ofthe troubled and meandering course of the Spanish Liberal Revolution. By examiningthe symbolic dimension of the Inquisition during the Spanish revolutionary cycle,but also post-revolutionary allusions to the Tribunal and its possible revival, weaim to enrich our understanding of Larra’s satire and its engagement with historicalchange.
