Literature Of Puerto Rico

The history of the Puerto Rican literature dates back to the 17th century when Puerto Ricans started telling stories and poems using the oral tradition of Coplas and Decimas. The first book published was "Ocios de la Juventud" by Juan Rodrguez Caldern in 1806. In 1849, Manuel A. Alonso, published "El Gibaro" a prose and poetry book. Lola Rodrguez de To (1843-1924), Jos Gautier Benitez (1851-1880) and Jos Gualberto Padilla (1829-1896) wrote poetry. Salvador Brau (1842-1912), Eugenio Mara de Hostos (1839-1903), and Alejandro Tapa y Rivera (1826-1882) were recognized in Latin America as Puerto Rican authors. Manuel Zeno Ganda's "La Charca" was published in 1894. The novel presented a grim look at the colonial situation of Puerto Rico. Jos de Diego (1867-1918) wrote many works about the Puerto Rican nationality and its unique culture and personality. Poets Virgilio Davila, Luis Llorens Torres and Luis Pals Matos also were inspired by their caribbean land. Evaristo Ribera Chevremont (1896-1974) work is published in "Antologia Poetica". Novelist Antonio S. Pedreira (1899-1939) wrote "Insularismo" where it describes the cultural survival of the Puerto Rican identity after the American invasion. Classic novels like "La Llamarada" and "Los Amos Benevolos" were written by Enrique A. Laguerre (born 1906- ). The most read and published book came from Puerto Rican author Ren Marqus, he wrote the masterpiece "La Carreta" (The Oxcart).
