Excerpt from El Paisaje en la Poesia Mexicana del Siglo XIX
Así el incomparable maestro de la crítica y la sabiduría españolas, Don Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo, cuando con devoción casi familiar convirtió hacia nuestra América los ojos, hechos á discernir en todas manifestaciones de la mente los caracteres distintivos é individuales, dijo que el fundamento de nuestra originalidad poética más bien que en opacas, incoherentes y misteriosas tradiciones ha de buscarse en la contemplación de las maravillas de un mun do nuevo, en los elementos propios del paisaje, en la modi ficación de la raza por el medio ambiente, y en la enérgica vida que engendraron, primero el esfuerzo civilizador de la conquista, luego la guerra de separacióny finalmente las discordias civiles. Por eso lo más original de la poesía ame ricana es, en primer lugar, la poesía descriptiva, y en se gundo lugar, la política. Así. Cuando ya en el cielo fatiga do de nuestra memoria nacional se borran, lentamente, los cuentos alados y prestigiosos en que balbuceábamos, de ni nos, el amor de la patria, - nuestra naturaleza, brava, fra gosa, como la encontraron los mitológicos caballeros de la piel de tigre y de los penachos multicolores y agitados, nuestra naturaleza, hecha símbolo y sello y concreción de nuestra unidad en el grupo dramático del águila y de la serpiente, luce aún sobre las insignias de la República, y fué señal de nuestra independencia lograda y es todavía triunfo en las banderas.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the changing landscape of Mexican poetry during the 19th century, from its earliest origins to the pre-revolutionary period. The author argues that the depictions of nature in Mexican poetry shifted dramatically during this time, reflecting the country's evolving social and political landscape. The book traces the influence of European and indigenous traditions, as well as the impact of national and international events, on the way Mexican poets saw and wrote about their environment. The author examines the works of major Mexican poets, such as Bernardo de Valbuena, Manuel Navarrete, and Manuel Carpio, to illustrate these changes. Through a close reading of their poetry, the book uncovers the complex ways in which nature was used as a vehicle for expressing national identity, social commentary, and personal experiences during one of Mexico's most tumultuous periods.
