Balagtas and His Nationalistic Literature by Johanna G. Hashim, Ph.D.

That Francisco Balagtas was both a poet and a social reformer par excellence is the thesis of this book. As a matter of fact, Dr. Hashim is telling us that the 12 poems she translated to English are not only for and about a real beloved woman but also, and more especially, for the Beloved Woman, Filipinas. For Balagtas, love for country is at least as intense as, if not more intense than, love for the lady of his life.
A Philippine import. Limited copies available.
