Abstract
RESUMEN:
El presente artículo recupera la figura de Agripina Montes del Valle, poeta colombiana del siglo XIX, muy poco leída actualmente a pesar del reconocimiento de su época. En primer lugar, recordamos su vida y su obra, dispersa en múltiples publicaciones. Posteriormente, estudiamos su lugar como mujer en la “ciudad letrada”. En el tercer apartado, nos centramos en sus poemas de contenido social y encontramos una articulación entre el deseo de progreso y la resignación religiosa. Finalmente, valoramos logros y limitaciones de sus versos, y su importancia en el contexto de la poesía colombiana.
ABSTRACT: This paper is an attempt to retrieve the figure of Agripina Montes del Valle, a 19th Century Colombian poet who has little recognition nowadays. Our first goal is to remember her life and work by recovering scattered poems in numerous publications. Later, we study the role of the poet as a woman in the “lettered city” of her time. In the third part, we focus on poems with social content in order to analyze her oscillatory thinking between the desire for progress and religious resignation. Finally, we consider the achievements and limitations of her verses, and its relevance in 19th Century Colombian poetry.
