Abstract
CORSMAXIX compiles 48 issues from three late nineteenth-century Spanish cultural magazines published between 1898 and 1899: Vida nueva (1898–1900), La vida literaria (1899), and La vida galante (1898–1905). Based on scans from the National Library of Spain, the text from these issues was extracted, cleaned, and standardized, resulting in a corpus of 789 .txt files written by 308 contributors, accompanied by six datasheets: three magazines’ issues indexes, a standardized author file based on authority sources, an author ID and biographical information sheet, when available, and a PIDs list by magazine issue. All materials have been deposited in Zenodo. The dataset offers a rich collection of short stories, poems, reviews, and socio-political essays from a decisive moment in Spain’s political and cultural history, enabling multiple computational analyses and facilitating connections with other periodical corpora for broader research in the humanities and social sciences.
