“El héroe romántico en la poesía Ecuatoriana del siglo XX”

Abstract

Since the study of the romantic hero of Rafael Argullol, the author establishes a relationship between the heroic romanticism from XVIII and XIX centuries and the Ecuadorian poetry from XX century. The Ecuadorian poetry of XX century opens with the Modernist movement that allows some continuity in themes and forms until the vanguards influence when the poem is considered as and art object instead of what the romantics believed, a result of inspiration. Lyrical voices studied as representatives from the first part of century are Medardo Ángel Silva, César Dávila Andrade and David Ledesma Vásquez. The lyrical voices from the second part of the century are Efraín Jara Idrovo and Ernesto Carrión Castro. With these considerations the author determines the existence heroic romanticism outbreaks in the lyrical voices of Ecuadorian poetry due XX century.
