José Castillejo Duarte (1877- 1945) fue un señalado intelectual en la España previa a la Guerra Civil (1936-1939). Ca- tedrático de derecho romano desde 1908 y convencido regeneracionista, se vio obliga- do a exiliarse en Inglaterra en los inicios de la contienda. Desde Londres ofreció varios discursos radiofónicos en español a través de la BBC, de los que se glosa uno de ellos en esta sede. Se interpreta dicha pieza oratoria en clave histórica y personal, subrayando la faceta jurídica y comparatista de su autor, que es quizá la menos conocida
José Castillejo Duarte (1877-1945) was an outstanding intellectual in Spain before the Civil War (1936-1939). He was a professor of Roman Law since 1908, but also a convinced reformist of education. Castillejo was forced into exile in England at the beginning of the war. From London, he gave several speeches in spanish through the BBC radio. One of them is commented here. We analyse this speech from a historical and personal point of view. At the same time we underline two aspects of the author�s personality, as a jurist and as a comparatist, which is perhaps the least known of his qualities.
