Rescue of the Cultural Heritage Literary Hidalguense Tomás Domínguez Illanes (1869-1907)

Abstract

We present to the reader a brief literary semblance of the work of Tomás Domínguez Illanes, a Hidalgo poet. It is a hemerographic research work, until now unpublished, whose main objective is the rescue of the literary cultural heritage of the State of Hidalgo. Tomás Dominguez and his work occupied an important cultural space in the pachuqueña society of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. His pen and his literary style, attached to the positivist current, found an echo in the mining and commercial elite of Pachuca, in need of culture and modernity. The themes addressed by the poet fulfilled the expectation of providing nationalist references to a society and a newly created or invented federative entity.
