Treball de recerca realitzat per una alumna d'ensenyament secundari i guardonat amb un Premi CIRIT per fomentar l'esperit científic del Jovent l'any 2009. El present treball és un estudi de la personalitat humana, literària i filosòfica de Jaume Brossa així com un anàlisi del medi sociohistòric que li va tocar viure. El mètode utilitzat ha estat, en primer lloc, un rastreig de material original, articles publicats entre els anys 1892 i 1902 en diversos òrgans de premsa de Barcelona i Madrid. Una vegada obtingut el material requerit, s’ha sondejat per dins de les seves línies fins a trobar quin era el seu pensament en molts aspectes, a saber: el seu posicionament entorn els grans centres d’atenció del seu temps: el nacionalisme, el moviment obrer, l’estètica modernista en les seves parcel•les de música, literatura, teatre etc., tots aquests camps, tractats des de la base de la seva actitud regeneracionista i revolucionària. L’estudi s’ha realitzat des d’un enfocament crític: intentar esbrinar quines han estat les causes per les quals un autor certament notable de les nostres lletres ha estat marginat o, si més no, minimitzat en el seu abast intel•lectual. I, tal com es planteja al començament del treball, aquest consta d’una recerca de causes, implicacions, contextos etc. que ens permetin esbrinar per què Jaume Brossa ha estat desacreditat.

Research project carried out by a pupil of secondary education and rewarded with a Prize CIRIT to foster the scientific spirit of the Youth in year 2009. The present project is a study which deals with the human, literary and philosophical personality of Jaume Brossa. It contains a social and a historical research about the days which he had to live as well. The method used begins with a compilation of original material such as published articles between 1892 and 1902 in the Barcelona and Madrid’s media. Then, it has been studied his work until it was found out which his thought was in a wide range of fields, such as his positon in the main matters of his days: nationalism, the workers movement or the modernist movement. All of them have been dealt with from his regenerationist and revolutionary point of view. The project has been done from a critical point of view, trying to find out why this important author for Catalan literature has been marginated or left aside in relation to his intellectual work. And, as it has been said at the beginning of this project, it enables you to know the reasons, implications, contexts, etc. which have led to this situation.
