Abstract

Ferran Soldevila (Barcelona, 1894-1971) was one of the most important Catalan historians of the 20th century. Committed to the contemporary revival of Catalan culture and nation, he supported the Republican Generalitat during the difficult time of the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39. This led him to exile in the French Republic, which he could not leave until 1943, when he returned to Barcelona and joined the resistance against Francos dictatorship. His resistant attitude aff ected both the political and cultural area to such an extent that we might say all his historiographical and literary work of the time had this combative nature. As he himself acknowledged, its no surprise that all his actions responded to a desire to normalise, which he summed up in the phrase «Making Catalonia a normal nation».
