The reader will find a selection of poems that reflect the transition from neoclassicism to the first lyrical expressions of island identity. Zequeira, considered the first Cuban poet, stands out for his formal mastery and his systematic approach to poetry, far removed from the improvisation of his predecessors. An essential volume for understanding the roots of poetry in Cuba and the evolution of lyrical language in the Hispanic Caribbean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work compiles the poetic production of Manuel de Zequeira, who laid the foundations of high poetry in Cuba at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries. The poems transition between Spanish neoclassical influence and the first glimpses of an American sensibility, addressing themes such as nature, classical mythology, and Enlightenment values. Zequeira, a great connoisseur of lyricism, structures his compositions with metric rigor and a refined language, moving away from the occasional verse of his predecessors. This anthology allows one to appreciate the birth of a poetic tradition on the island, marked by the search for a unique voice within the canons of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigins of Cuban poetry and its first systematic cultivation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInfluence of neoclassicism and the Spanish lyrical tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican nature and island landscape as a poetic motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClassical mythology and Enlightenment values in colonial lyricism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTransition toward a literary expression with a Caribbean identity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and scholars of Hispanic American literature, especially those interested in the origins of Cuban poetry and the colonial period.
