Cuban Literature

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Cuban literature began to find its voice in the early 19th century. The major works published in Cuba during that time were of an abolitionist character. Notable writers of this genre include Gertrudis Gomez de Avellaneda and Cirilo Villaverde. Following the abolition of slavery in 1886, the focus of Cuban literature shifted. Dominant themes of independence and freedom were exemplified by Jos Mart , who led the modernista movement in Latin American literature. Writers such as the poet Nicol s Guill n focused on literature as social protest. Others like Dulce Mar a Loynaz, Jos Lezama Lima and Alejo Carpentier dealt with more personal or universal issues. And a few more, such as Reinaldo Arenas and Guillermo Cabrera Infante, earned international recognition in the postrevolutionary era.
