Abstract
La Universidad de Oxford creó su
primera cátedra de Lengua y Literatura
Españolas en 1927; la Universidad de
Cambridge, seis años después, en 1933.
Sus primeros ocupantes fueron el escritor
español Salvador de Madariaga y el
musicólogo e hispanista inglés John B.
Trend, respectivamente. Antes de llegar
a la cátedra ambos autores mantenían
una estrecha relación con la cultura
del país amigo, relación que la vida
académica contribuyó a acrecentar. El
presente artículo trata de ahondar en este
vínculo y de mostrar la importante labor
desempeñada por estos dos intelectuales
como puente cultural entre Reino Unido
y España durante las primeras décadas del
siglo XX
