About the author
Eduardo Martín de la Cámara was born in Manila in 1873 and died in 1926. He wrote in Spanish and is closely associated with literary life connected to the Philippines, especially through his editorial and anthological work.
He is best known for Parnaso filipino (1922), an anthology of Filipino poets in Spanish for which he provided the prologue, selection, and notes. The book helped preserve and present a broad range of poetic voices from the archipelago, making his name especially important to readers interested in Philippine literature in Spanish.
Available catalog records and literary archives also connect him with other editorial work, including a volume of poetry by Miguel de Cervantes. A confirmed modern portrait was not readily available from the sources checked, so no profile image is included here.
