Abstract

This first stage of the epistolary correspondence of José Ortega y Gasset and María de Maeztu spans more than two decades, from 1910 to 1932. It starts at the beginning of the maturity of both protagonists and lasts for 30 long years. María de Maeztu leaves her school in Bilbao and goes to Madrid to continue her studies, at the request of Ortega who has discovered a high potential in the sister of his friend Ramiro. The correspondence tells us about a friendship that begins as a disciplic relationship and, without ever abandoning freedom, evolves from the admiration of the disciple, towards mutual respect and close collaboration.
