As literati struggled to define their fledgling Peruvian Republic, they found inspiration in the dual-heritage author Garcilaso de la Vega's previously banned work, \u003ci\u003eRoyal Commentaries\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWard focuses on four authors who turned back to the colonial-era chronicler Inca Garcilaso de la Vega as they synthesized Inkan tradition into modern national thinking: Juana Manuela Gorriti, Clorinda Matto de Turner, Manuel González Prada, and Ricardo Palma. An element of this cultural dynamic included gender awareness. At the time, women were accepted in the literary establishment much more than they would be in the following century, a fact Ward highlights in this study of the two most famous men authors and the two most famous women authors from this time period. In \u003ci\u003eInca Garcilaso de la Vega\u003c\/i\u003e Ward brings gender and ethnic perspectives into a postcolonial discussion of a reality that was striving to establish \"Peruvian\" as a bona fide proper noun with substantive denotative and connotative meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Ward\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of Spanish at Loyola University.
