Key themes in Neoclassical literature in Latin America

Neoclassical literature in Latin America was heavily influenced by the European Enlightenment and the ideals of reason, order, and classical art forms. Some key themes in neoclassical literature include the emphasis on reason and logic over emotion, the celebration of Greek and Roman literature and mythology, a focus on the individual and their societal role, and a rejection of romanticism and sentimentalism. Neoclassical writers in Latin America often used their works as a way to critique and challenge the societal norms and political systems of their time, paving the way for the more revolutionary literature of the 19th and 20th centuries.
