JIMENEZ MARCE, Rogelio. The debate between Francisco Bulnes and Agustin Eduardo de Bazán y Caravantes over the poetic critic in 1871. Sig. his [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.33, pp.88-133. ISSN 1665-4420.

The aim of this article is to analyze, from the views expressed in the journalistic debate between Francisco Bulnes and Eduardo de Bazán y Caravantes, how important poetic production was among nineteenth-century Mexican writers. Both claimed that poetic critique was not supported by what we would now call academic arguments, but by general interpretations based on the virtues of the author. Thus, poetry was not valued for its stylistic qualities or poetic relevance but for its political orientation and for the person who wrote it.

Palabras llave : Mexican Literature; Mexican poets; rhetorical figures; function of poetry; literary nationalism.
