PICCATO, Pablo. Poetry and politics in republican Mexico: a reading of Ignacio Ramírez in Don Simplicio, 1845-1847. Estud. hist. mod. contemp. Mex [online]. 2019, n.58, pp.29-74.  Epub 31-Ene-2022. ISSN 0185-2620.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24485004e.2019.58.71832.

This article examines the ideas of Ignacio Ramírez and his fellow contemporaries regarding the political use of poetry. It focuses on the time-period in which Ramírez and Guillermo Prieto wrote the satyrical newspaper Don Simplicio, in opposition to the government of Maria­no Paredes y Arrillaga and the monarchist project. Despite the imminence of the Mexico United States war, Ramírez criticized both nationalism and the poetry of his own epoch. His aim was to establish the foundations for a renewed and democratic public language in which poetry would play a very important role.

Palabras llave : public sphere; poetry; Ignacio Ramírez; literature; republicanism.
