Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Abstract This study delves into the poetry of two prominent revolutionary figures and national heroes of the 19th century: José Martí, often referred to as the "Apostle of Cuba," who authored 157 known poems, and José Rizal, celebrated in the Philippines as the "national hero" (pambansang bayani), whose collection of 40 long poems exists in both print and manuscript forms. Martí was born in 1853, and Rizal in 1861; during the following decades, they both embodied the revolutionary and nationalist fervor that opposed the declining Spanish colonial empire. Tragically, both men would perish without witnessing the realization of their revolutionary aspirations: Martí was killed in Cuba by Spanish soldiers during the failed armed uprising of 1895, and Rizal was executed in Manila on December 30, 1896. The Spanish empire ultimately fell two years later after its defeat in the Spanish-American War. Following this event, the United States occupied Cuba until 1902, subsequently facilitating the establishment of a Cuban national government that it controlled until the Castro Revolution of 1959. Likewise, the Philippines experienced nearly 50 years of occupation from 1898 to 1946. Although Martí and Rizal never met or corresponded, they were profoundly linked by a shared commitment to a revolutionary romantic poetry, which this research aims to explore and interpret.
