Los maestros contra la RAE. Obstáculos y enredos de la oficialización de la gramática escolar académica en España (1875-1900)

This work aims to study the main challenges that academic school grammar faced in Spain for its consolidation in classrooms from the time of the Restoration, when its texts (Compendio and Epítome) became official again for the teaching of the Spanish language in public schools. Our analysis focuses specifically on examining the various news, reviews, and articles found in the Spanish printed press, a representative textual sample, not only of how the issue is experienced in Spanish society, but also of the different attitudes and opinions of intellectuals of the time regarding the matter, especially from the teachers, which maintained strong resistance against the repression actions carried out by the government and the Academy itself for the maintenance (and expansion) of their privileges and the consolidation of their doctrine in the classrooms.
