Biografía:
San Miguel, 1863 Francisco Antonio Gavidia Guandique worked on all literary genres with an enriching vision of his own reality. Gavidia delved deep into the basics of the autochthonous and reality, an element that tells him apart from other contemporary writers. He found out about the French Alexander style and taught Nicaraguan Ruben Dario to develop his prose and take it to the ultimate limit. His adventurous spirit compelled him to try his hand at different styles and genres, a reason why some critics claim his work is somewhat disperse and hard to be bound together in one category. Nevertheless, his top concern revolved around the search of the most genuine Salvadoran culture. He studied the pre-Hispanic and colonial past within both a Central American and hemispheric context. He put out countless essays on education and teaching techniques. In 1932, the national Parliament declared him a Higher Emeritus Salvadoran.
