The article analyses the literary-biographical trajectories of Alfonsina Storni (1892-1938) and Horacio Quiroga (1878-1937) and the way they adjusted their work to the demands and opportunities of press media and popular magazines, conferring an innovative character to established genres by means of an adjustment of the literary language to the preferences of an emerging public. Outsiders on the eyes of the Argentine literary élite, they responded to the intents of disqualification with the political and literary resources at their disposal, combining the excellence of professional literates to the intense intonations of private nightmares.
