Philippine Literature in American Period
Title
Background Information for Learners/Panimula (Susing Konsepto)
th
At the dawn of the 20 century, American culture began to establish its form grip on the
Filipino identity. They brought another groundbreaking cultural milestone: the English language. The
Philippine writers appreciated the new styles and genres of writing that they brought.

From the 1920s onwards, Philippine literature in English began to gain

momentum. The genres of poetry, fiction, drama, and essay saw remarkable growth.

Modernization of poetry took place. It was headed by Jose Garcia Villa in his “Have Come, Am
Here” in two volumes. Then many adopted. Novel was also introduced in this period. Many vernacular
novels were written. The first Philippine novel in English was Zoilo Galang’s “A Child of Sorrow” which
was published in 1921.

Short stories had its start during this period. The “Dead Stars” by Paz Marquez Benitez in
1925 was the first successful Philippine short story in English. She mentored other writers that in
1927, a collection of Philippine short stories in English written by one author was published, Jose
Villa Panganiban’s “Stealer of Hearts”. It is then followed in 1933, “Footnote to Youth” by Jose Garcia
Villa.

Drama was also introduced in this period. The three former UP Presidents had legacies of
excellent drama writing. Carlos P. Romulo who became President of the United Nations General
Assembly, wrote “Sons for Sale”, “The Ghost” and “The Real Leader.” Jorge Bacobo published four
plays: Vidal Tan gained fame with Rizal inspired plays like “The Meeting in the Town Hall” and
“Souls in Torment.”

From 1922-1931, nearly 40 plays were produced or published in the country. These plays
echod cries for independence from the American colonizers. The next 10 years were dominated by
an all-time great in Philippine Literature: Wilfredo Ma. Guerrero. A highly prolific writer to whom over
100 plays are credited. Guerrero helped the Philippine theater scene reached new heights. His
masterpieces included, “Condemned” , “ Women are Extraordinary”, and “Forever”.
 Essay genre flourished in this period too. Just as he was the pioneer in fiction, Zoilo Galang
broke new ground with essays as well. In 1921, he published “Life and Success,” the first Philippine
book of essays in English.

Literary criticism also emerged. Manuel A. Viray was among the most notable critics, aside
from being a poet and fictionist himself.
