Jaume Vallcorba Plana , also Santiago Vallcorba Plana (born September 21, 1949 in Tarragona , † August 23, 2014 in Barcelona ) was a Spanish philologist , editor and publisher .

Life

Vallcorba Plana studied philosophy and philology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and received her doctorate from the University of Barcelona with a dissertation on "Josep Maria Junoy and the early European avant-garde". Until 2004 Jaume Vallcorba was professor of literature at the University of Bordeaux, Lleida, and at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona.

He was a member of the Royal Academy of Doctors of Catalonia with a research focus on aesthetics, medieval literature and avant-garde. In 1979 he founded the Quaderns Crema publishing house and Acantilado in 1999, which he has headed as a publisher since they were founded. His main merit as a researcher is the new perspective he was able to give with regard to the literary avant-garde at the beginning of the 20th century. As a publisher, he introduced the outstanding generation of contemporary Catalan authors, including Quim Monzó , Sergi Pàmies and Empar Moliner . In his Spanish catalog one encounters classics from the past - including Chateaubriand , James Boswell , Montaigne - which he helped rediscover in the form of new editions, but also European authors of the 20th century such as Fernando Pessoa , Imre Kertész , Stefan Zweig and Joseph Roth . He has made contemporary Eastern European and new Spanish-speaking authors accessible to Spanish readers.

He published studies on aesthetics and literature. The writer JV Foix personally entrusted him with the editing of his entire poetic works. He has also published the poems of Junoy.

Vallcorba Plana died in Barcelona in August 2014 at the age of 64.
