Parnaso Filipino by Eduardo Martín de la Cámara
"Parnaso Filipino" by Eduardo Martín de la Cámara is a collection of poetry featuring Filipino poets written in the early 20th century. This anthology highlights the works of poets from the Philippine archipelago who express their sentiments and identities, largely through the lens of the Spanish language during the period of Spanish colonization. The anthology also provides a historical context for the development of Filipino poetry and raises themes of nationalism and
cultural identity. At the start of "Parnaso Filipino," the editor presents a prologue outlining the challenges and limitations faced by Filipino poets during Spanish rule, including issues of censorship and language barriers. The editor emphasizes that while the poems are by Filipino authors, they are mainly written in Spanish, reflecting a complex relationship with colonial influences. Several poets, including notable figures like José Rizal and Cecilio Apóstol, are mentioned for their significant contributions to Filipino literature. The prologue sets the stage for a rich tapestry of poetic expressions that resonate with themes of patriotism, freedom, and the unique Filipino experience, hinting at the diverse styles and voices represented within the collection.
