La literatura como impronta en la conformación de la historia un análisis desde el círculo delmontino

Resumen

This article proposes to highlight the importance and influence of the literary gatherings of Domingo Del Monte in the formation of a national identity originated by nineteenth century Cuban literature. Its relevance consists in how this movement has been fundamental in laying the foundations of a national consciousness and served as platform based on the narrative as testimony in the context of a colonialist situation that prevailed in the isle of Cuba in the nineteenth century. The Del Monte literary gatherings were responsible for the support of a small group of writers and accomplished a representation of a certain sector of minorities of color, not in the sense of being subject to studies, but conferring them a featured place in Cuban literature, because of their literary value and testimonies of reality. The relationships that were built between history and literature left a permanent mark in the Cuban anti-slavery narrative.The relation developed in the investigation between history and literature formed the basis of the study and analysis that had its genesis in the investigative work leading to a dissertation in Spanish and Hispanic American literature.
