*** Alonso de Ercilla ( La Araucana )

La Araucana, 1st part, editio princeps, Madrid, 1569.

La Araucana is an epic poem in Spanish about the Spanish conquest of Chile, by Alonso de Ercilla ; it is also known in English as The Araucaniad.

La Araucana consists of 37 cantos that are distributed across the poem ’ s three parts.

In the minds of the Chilean people La Araucana is a kind of Iliad that exalts the heroism, pride, and contempt of pain and death of the legendary Araucanian leaders and makes them national heroes today.

La Araucana is deliberately literary and includes fantastical elements reminiscent of medieval stories of chivalry.

The mixture of Classical and Araucanian motifs in La Araucana often strikes the modern reader as unusual, but Ercilla ’ s turning native peoples into ancient Greeks, Romans, or Carthaginians was a common practice of his time.

His valour and nobility give La Araucana grandeur, as does the poem ’ s exaltation of the vanquished: the defeated Araucanians are the champions in this poem, which was written by one of the victors, a Spaniard.

Ercilla ’ s depiction of Caupolicán elevates La Araucana above the poem ’ s structural defects and prosaic moments, which occur toward the end when Ercilla follows Tasso too closely and the narrative strays from the author ’ s lived experience.

La Araucana ’ s more dramatic moments also became a source of plays.

But the Renaissance epic is not a genre that has, as a whole, endured well, and today Ercilla is little known and La Araucana is rarely read except by specialists and students of Spanish and Latin American literatures, and of course in Chile, where it is subject of special attention in the elementary schools education both in language and history.

La Araucana makes Chile the only American country that was founded under the lights of an epic poem.

La Araucana is one of the works which the men spare from the flames, as " one of the best examples of its genre ", entirely Christian and honorable, and is proclaimed to be among the best poems in the heroic style ever written, good enough to compete with those of Ariosto and Tasso.
