The indebtedness of Mariano José de Larra to the late 18th-century Spanish journalist, Luis Cañuelo, is readily apparent, although Larra never acknowledged his influence.

The author believes that Cañuelo's particular brand of caustic sociopolitical commentary and his image of the reader as a member of a collective reformist movement most closely matched that of Larra.
