La censura y publicacion de los viajes de enrique wanton al pais de las monas: Nuevos datos sobre un texto Utopico-Satirico del siglo XVIII

The main objective of this article is to analyse the documents concerning government censorship of the four volumes that make up the Viajes de Enrique Wanton al país de las monas, a utopian satirical work written between 1769 and 1778 by the Spanish lawyer and man of letters Gutierre Joaquín Vaca de Guzman. This study not only contributes to a better understanding of the editorial production of a text that was a resounding best seller during the Spanish Enlightenment, despite having originated from the translation and adaptation of the work by the Italian author Zaccaria Seriman, but also shows the importance of the utopian tradition of enlightened Spain, significantly represented by the work of Vaca de Guzman.
