Calixto Oyuela (1857 - June 12, 1935) was an Argentine poet and essayist.
Calixto was a lawyer by training. He worked for some years as a lawyer before turning to teaching and literary criticism. He then traveled across Europe, in the process earning the membership of the Argentine diplomatic corps. He also rapidly gained renown as a scholar. He became a Professor of Spanish Literature at the National College of Buenos Aires. He also held the position of director of the National Conservatory and also of the Spanish Academy of Language. He was appointed as the first president of the Academia Argentina de Letras and the Ateneo de Buenos Aires. During his lifetime Calixto was celebrated as one of Argentina's best scholars and a prominent figure in the country's cultural renewal. [1]
Oyuela remains one of Argentina's most celebrated poets. Works like “Art Canto” (1881), “Eros and Songs” (1891), “Songs of Autumn and Night” reflect his poetic skill. But Oyuela's lyrical, classical yet romantic verse is overshadowed by his vigorous prose. It was prose that brought Oyuela fame. Among his most famous works of prose are Literary Theory Elements of Argentina (1880), Notes On Spanish Literature, and Latin American Poetry Anthology, which won the National Prize for Literature in 1919.
Oyuela founded and was director of the Scientific Literary Magazine. He was at the helm of cultural and literary life in Argentina. He was a member of the Royal Spanish Academy. He also held the past of president of the Academy of Arts of Argentina. [2]
Borges on Martín Fierro concerns Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges's comments on José Hernández's nineteenth century poem Martín Fierro. Like most of his compatriots, Borges was a great admirer of this work, which he often characterized as the one clearly great work in Argentine literature. Because Martín Fierro has been widely considered the fountainhead or pinnacle of Argentine literature, Argentina's Don Quixote or Divine Comedy, and because Borges was certainly Argentina's greatest twentieth-century writer, Borges's 1953 book of essays about the poem and its critical and popular reception - El "Martín Fierro" - gives insight into Borges's identity as an Argentine.
