When it comes to building the memory of the labour movement, historiography has rarely paid attention to the intellectual contribution of its members and usually focuses on an instrumental level, concentrating its analysis on organisational characteristics. Examples include the works created by workers make it possible to study the forms of doctrinal dissemination, but due to their militant nature, they are rarely considered, particularly when they have an artistic nature, such as poems, narratives and theatre plays. Some of these works were published separately, but the majority remain unpublished, hidden and scattered in the pages of the periodicals of his time, mostly labour and republican. Unfortunately, these texts have not received the necessary attention to be recovered in critical editions as has happened with other authors, namely literary writers, philosophers, politicians or journalists. The aim of this work is to stimulate research interest in order to reveal this forgotten contribution.
