About the author
Born in 1842 and deceased in 1893, Manuel Lucio y Bustamante is generally identified as a Puerto Rican writer associated with poetry, drama, and journalism. He is remembered as part of the island’s 19th-century literary generation, a period when authors were helping define Puerto Rican cultural identity through newspapers, verse, and the stage.
His career appears to have crossed several forms rather than staying in just one. That mix of literary and journalistic work suggests a writer engaged not only with art, but also with the public conversations of his time.
