Peruvian author Ricardo Palma (1838-1919) was one of the most
popular and imitated writers in Latin America during the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As head of the National
Library in Lima, Palma had access to a rich source of historical
books and manuscripts. His historical miscellanies, which he called
"traditions," are witty anecdotes about conquerors, viceroys,
corrupt and lovelorn friars, tragic loves and notorious characters.
Humor, irony and word play characterize his collection of over five
hundred traditions written between 1872 and 1906, whether
describing violent deeds or amorous misadventures. Unlike many of
his contemporaries in the second half of the nineteenth century,
Palma did not write transparent didactic fictions and defend elite
cultural forms. Rather, he reveled in ironic approaches to written
sources, political authorities and church institutions as well as
popular speech and knowledge. Both fiction and history, Palma's
delightful Peruvian Traditions represents a hybrid literary form
that constructs historical memory distinct from the dominant
literary trends of the time.
