La vida en las cartas:

Ricardo Palma entre escritoras

Abstract

Consecrated as one of the best writers in Latin America, don Ricardo Palma maintained an intense epistolary correspondence with renowned characters from Peru and abroad. In his long list of epistles, the names of women writers such as Juana Manuela Gorriti, Clorinda Matto de Turner, Mercedes Cabello de Carboneda, among others, were distinguished with whom he managed to share various issues related to the literary field, the political scene, the private sphere, among others themes. Precisely, the present work deals with the message of these letters, which give us an idea of t he degree of admiration and confidence that the writer from Lima had by these female writers.
