    José Mármol

    José Mármol (1818-1871) was an Argentine poet, novelist, and journalist. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, he left law school for a career in politics. In 1839, he was arrested by the regime of Juan Manuel de Rosas and was forced to flee within two years for his political opposition. In Montevideo, he befriended a vibrant community of fellow exiles including Esteban Echeverría and Juan Bautista Alberdi. Several years later, Mármol fled to Rio de Janeiro following the siege of Montevideo by Manuel Oribe, an ally of Rosas. He returned in 1845 and remained in Uruguay for seven years. In the Uruguayan capital, he founded three journals and gained a reputation as a prominent political poet. His twelve-canto autobiographical poem El Peregrino (1847) and a collection of his lyric poems placed Mármol at the forefront of the Latin American Romantic school. He is perhaps remembered most for his Costumbrist novel Amalia (1851), which was recognized as Argentina’s national novel following the defeat of Rosas in 1852. Mármol returned after thirteen years in exile to serve as a senator, national deputy, and diplomat to Brazil. From 1858 until his retirement due to blindness, Rosas served as the director of the Biblioteca Nacional de la República Argentina, a position later held by his fellow countryman Jorge Luis Borges.

      I have finally finished reading Amalia By José Mármol. This novel was published in two parts in 1844 and 1855. It shows the strong influence of Scott and also Victor Hugo. It is similar to Scott in that there is a great emphasis on national history, which in this case is the Rosas dictatorship in Argentina during 1840, combined with a love story. The love story, like so much of Scott, seems at time to be a minor part of the story. This novel, though, seems much different from any I have ever read. It is not tightly written; it has long lyrical passages of homages to nature, descriptions of dress, furnishings and life in Argentina, political diatribes against Rosas, historical renderings much like Scott, hymns of praise of love, and much comic relief. The main characters seem not to be Amalia and her lover, but the people involved in the tumultuous events that occurred in the Argentine winter and spring of 1840. There is a revised translation published by Oxford University Press. I have not read the translation, but the introduction is quite interesting, although I disagree with much of it.
