THE PREFACE :: "This study, although covering the entire life of this Spanish man of letters, is devoted chiefly to the period 1823 - 1838, which he spent in England and South America and which includes his most active and creative years. Mora has been little known or understood even by most scholars in the field of Spanish letters, both because of his obscurity and because the superficial studies which have been made of him are full of contradictions. "This study attempts to contribute to the better understanding of Mora in the following ways :: 1) By thoroughly studying his life, particularly the period spent outside Spain. / 2) By considering in more detail than has been previously done his most important work produced in England and America. / 3) By attempting to sum up from available evidence the nature of his career and his place in literary history. / 4) By collecting and reproducing as many as possible of his poems written in America, most of which have not been previously collected. Consideration is given not only to Mora's strictly literary work, but also to his manifold activities in various other fields, notably politics and education. "Mora unquestionably had an important influence on the cultural life of Spanish America. The effects of his political activities were also strongly felt in many countries. Although he undoubtedly contributed to the development of literary Romanticism in this area, his stimulating effect on literary activity in general was probably of greater significance. Mora's main talents were in the field of humorous and satirical poetry; in his serious lyrical efforts he was a competent and usually uninspired poet." This rare volume, this copy of which is likely the only copy available on the market, includes a selection of Mora's poems which had not been hitherto collected. The poems are included as an appendix, which is entitled, "Uncollected Poems Written in America by Jose Joaquin De Mora" These poems are presented in the original Spanish.
