JIMENEZ MARCE, Rogelio. "Una pluma frente a una espada" o de cómo escribir una novela para justificar una rebelión: Héctor de David Ramírez (Jorge Gram). Secuencia [online]. 2005, n.62, pp.78-118. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i62.914.

This article analyzes the novel Héctor by David Ramírez (Jorge Gram). This novel sought to defend the legality of the struggle the Cristeros had waged against the "anti-religious" actions, of the revolutionary government led by Plutarco Elias Calles. The article attempts to weigh up Cristero literature and examines the place occupied by Ramírez' novel in the national literary sphere. The novel provides elements for understanding Ramírez's perception of society and the goals pursued by the Cristero movement. Ramírez was convinced that the armed movement had failed due to society's failure to defend its religious beliefs.

Palabras llave : Historical novel; Cristero literature; religious conflict 1926-1929; David Ramírez; National League of Religious Defense; Church-State relations; José María González y Valencia.
