Emilia Pardo Bazán, Juan Luna Novicio, press, causes célèbres, crimes of passionAbstract
The purpose of this article is to document and study a barely known case in the
journalistic career of Emilia Pardo Bazán: the controversy that the writer had with the Hispanic-
Filipino painter Juan Luna Novicio between February and March 1893, after he was prosecuted
in Paris for murdering his wife, Paz Pardo de Tavera, and his mother-in-law, Juliana Gorricho.
Unlike much of the Spanish press, which was in favor of acquitting the painter from the very
moment the crimes were disclosed, Pardo Bazán did not hesitate to reveal his disagreement with
the way in which society and courts judged the murders that, like those of Luna Novicio, were
called crimes of passion. Pardo Bazán’s reflection provoked painter’s angry reaction, and Luna in
turn received a forceful response from the writer.
