- Title
JUAN RAFAEL ALLENDE, "EL PEQUÉN", Y LOS RASGOS CARNAVALESCOS DE LA LITERATURA POPULAR CHILENA DEL SIGLO XIX.
- Authors
Salinas Campos, Maximiliano
- Abstract
In the rich but little researched tradition of the popular literature of Chile, the figure of poet and playwright Juan Rafael Allende Astorga (1848-1909) shines in the 19th century. The festive nature of his literary production during the 1880's is expressed in the popular volumes of poetry published under the nickname of El Pequén (a local species of hawk) and in his cartoon newspaper 'El Padre Padilla.' Against the grain of the stiffness and anglicism of the bourgeoisie that characterized his epoch, Allende associated his festive spirit with the struggle for democracy, especially with the birth of the Democratic Party.
