- Title
FICCIÓN Y VERDAD EN EL PECADO DEL SIGLO, DE JOSÉ TOMÁS DE CUÉLLAR.
- Authors
de Lara, Belem Clark
- Abstract
This article reviews several historical elements that José Tomás de Cuéllar created in "El pecado del siglo" (1869), a historical novel about a famous crime that occurred the century before, in the times of the Viceroy of Revillagigedo (1789). The article reflects on the reading of the Colony by the writers of the Restored Republic and it explores the workshop of the writer: the sources in which he documented his subject, the transformation of the facts in literature and the elements without historical reference that are interwoven in the narrative. All of this was done so that his potential reader would understand his moment in history.
