Retrieving the Past / Recuperating the Voice by Soledad S. Reyes
In stock
"Retrieving the Past/Recuperating the Voice" aims to bring to the consciousness of present and future generations the immense wealth of insights that can be culled from the works of some of the nation’s most significant writers. Among them is Jose Rizal, the most powerful voice from the nineteenth century. Other less visible writers whose works, long buried by a forgetful present, need to be retrieved are popular novelists such as Patricio Mariano, Teofilo Sauco, Antonio Sempio, and Macario Pineda. Their works spoke to generations of readers in the first half of the twentieth century.
The anthology also includes a lengthy essay on the voluminous and varied works of writers such as Genoveva Edroza-Matute, Lina Flor, Liwayway Arceo, and Rosario de Guzman Lingat. Spanning a career of almost a century, these writers collectively produced thousands of texts—from novels and short stories, to soap operas, to komiks and columns in newspapers and magazines—without a “room of their own.” For these women who chose to write in Tagalog, writing was a form of labor they engaged in as daughters, wives and mothers, and not as an activity done in the privacy of one’s room.
Two of the six essays attempt to construct a frame through which various texts can be studied more systematically and creatively.
