Summary
This chapter delves into the mathematical subtexts that underlie the emotional displays that abound in Ignacio Manuel Altamirano’s (1834–93) serially published first novel Clemencia (1869), a literary keystone and expression of Mexican Romanticism that appeared in El Renacimiento following the achievement of Mexico’s liberal triumph over the Second French Intervention (1861–67).
