Abstract

HERNANDEZ LANDA VALENCIA, Verónica. Liberalism, Enlightenment and Romanticism: The Problem of Freedom in Two Novels of the Restored Republic. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.2, pp.75-104. ISSN 2256-5450.  https://doi.org/10.15446/lthc.v18n2.58729.

The article proposes a reflection on the way three currents of thought, Liberalism, the Enlightenment and Romanticism, influenced the representation of the problem of freedom in two historical novels published in the Restored Republic: Monja y casada, virgen y mártir (Nun and Married, Virgin and Martyr) by Vicente Riva Palacio and El pecado del siglo (The Sin of the Century) by José Tomás de Cuéllar. Its aim is to show that these currents intersect in a single text that contributes to the configuration of the concept of restricted freedom; the specific form that this concept acquires can be explained from the ideological and political position of the authors in the context of the Restored Republic.

Keywords : Liberalism; Enlightenment; Romanticism; historical novel; Restored Republic.
