Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the context in which the little known text of Pedro José Bermúdez de la Torre was written and in it to review the ideas of the Creole elite in the dedication to the Count of Monclova of the narrative poem Telémaco en la isla de Calipso (Telémaco) written by Pedro José Bermúdez de la Torre and Solier (c. 1690). This study aims to present how these ideas are exposed and if they show any kind of identification of Bermudez with the so called «creole affair».
