| Sumario: | This essay proposes that during the beginning of the Hispanic American Modernist Movement at the end of the 19th c. the second emergence of the Baroque esthetic took place in Latin American literature, in Puerto Rico. This historical period was distinguished by the accentuation of social inequalities on the island and the rest of the Caribbean, obligating the writers of the time to utilize structural and linguistic resources typical of the Baroque esthetic of the 17th c. They used language that was precious, hermetic, allegorical, and symbolic, in order to avoid censure. As evidence of this phenomena, this investigation analyzes two poems by the Puerto Rican writer Jose de Jesus Dominguez, Las huries blancas (1886) and Ecos de siglo (1889), in order to identify Neo Baroque elements within them. |
