[ES] Este artículo revisa el periodo transcurrido por Malaspina en Madrid tras su “viaje alrededor del mundo”, hasta su detención en noviembre de 1795. A la luz de fuentes hasta ahora ignoradas por la historiografía malaspiniana, se analiza la participación de Malaspina en una disputa literaria en el Diario de Madrid, donde llegó a publicar bajo seudónimo cuatro cartas filosóficas sobre la belleza que constituyen un antecedente directo de su Meditación filosófica, su obra más personal, escrita en presidio tras su arresto. Por último, se analiza la relación de Malaspina con su vecina madrileña Fernanda O’Connock, marquesa de Matallana, mujer vinculada a la oposición política a Godoy y destacada agente conspiradora contra el primer ministro en dicho periodo, quien muy posiblemente tuvo un papel mucho más activo de lo que hasta ahora se le había reconocido en la conspiración Malaspina.
[EN] This article reviews the period spent by Malaspina in Madrid after his “voyage around the world”, until his arrest in November 1795. Exploring sources hitherto ignored by Malaspinian historiography, the article focuses on Malaspina’s participation in a literary dispute which took place in the Diario de Madrid, where he published under pseudonym four philosophical letters on Beauty. These letters constitute the direct antecedent of his Meditation on Beauty, his most personal work, written in prison after his arrest. Lastly, the paper analyses Malaspina’s relationship with his neighbour in Madrid, Fernanda O’Connock, Marchioness of Matallana, a woman linked to the political opposition to Manuel Godoy and an outstanding conspirator agent against the Prime Minister, who very possibly played a much more active role than previously recognised in the so-called “Malaspina conspiracy”.
