Literature of Nouvelle Alexandrie

Literature in Nouvelle Alexandrie is literature (poetry, prose, and drama) written in Martino and Alexandrian within the territory of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Its development stems from the cultural development of Alduria and Wechua Nation, the two principle regions that united under the Proclamation of Punta Santiago into Nouvelle Alexandrie.

Overview

Nouvelle Alexandrie has both a rich culture in novelism and in non-fiction writing, with world-renown authors such as Eduardo Sastre, who had a profound influence on the development of science-fiction; Elena Val, who was at the forefront of New Alexandrian novelism; and historian Pedro de Armadi, who influenced historiographical research and single-handedly published a compendium on the history of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

The development of literature in Nouvelle Alexandrie can be broadly distinguished into three eras:

• Pre-Federation literature, before 1685 AN
• New Prosperity Plan literature, between 1685 AN and 1720 AN
• New Century literature, often called Nouveau Wave literature, from 1720 AN onwards

Pre-Federation literature

The development of literature in Alduria and Wechua Nation was closely linked to the drastic political shifts of the period, including the Wechua Sorrow and Wechua Spring. During that time, poetry was especially prolific in Wechua, with famous poets like Usqo Ccahuantico Rimayhuaman and Illapama Quichca Malqui gaining national renown for their work.

In the category of non-fiction, politicology also flourished, with Aldurian-born authors Matias Gustierrez, Emilio Acaran, and Francesco Patrallez dominating the development of the ideological and philosophical principles of the Federation.

Prosperity Plan Era literature

Under the stewardship of the New Prosperity Plan, in particular Project Charlie, a new national literature was developed for the fledgling Federation. This was perhaps most noticable in the category of fiction writing. Science-fiction writer Eduardo Sastre gained renown for his popular Voyage Through the Stars series, a clear example of the futurism movement that was prevalent during that time. Avant-garde literature was especially championed by Elena Val, whose Romero series was generally regarded as the foremost example of the genre. At the time, realist literature was also popular, with Ramon Sallent and Maria Peña as its best-known authors.

The University of Narbonne also gained renown during the time, leading the so-called Narbonne Society of poets, of which J.J.C Arroyo, José Antonio Castejón and Ramon Cuevas were the best-known members.

In the category of non-fiction, politicology continued to develop, including with Gustierrez and Acaran; but also under distinct Wechua writing style, led by Talla Caipa Conde. The development of national parties with the advent of the Cortes Federales also saw the emergence of new ideological theories, best encapsulated by sociologist Carla Tejero, who had a profound influence on the development of social studies in Nouvelle Alexandrie. The development of historical literature was led by Pedro de Armadi.

New Era literature

The The Nouveau Wave counterculture had a profound impact on the development of the 18th Century literature in Nouvelle Alexandrie. Notable members of the movement, including Maria Chancha and Charles Hildy, later became known for their avant-garde literature. Fiction also developed, with impressionism and post-modernism gaining popularity under younger generations.

Perhaps best-known at the time was the work of novelist Julio Alguacil, whose Golden Dome series spawned new interest in science-fiction. Other fiction novelists included Adrian Valdovinos and Eva Carmen Romero.

In the category of non-fiction, politicology was given new form through the groundbreaking work of Camila Vega. The shifting political landscape, exasperated by the Recession of 1726, and later by the Spring Crisis of 1739, also had profound impact on the sociological development of non-fiction literature in Nouvelle Alexandrie. This was most prevalent from the work of sociologist Manuel Criado; and philosophers Lucas de Barceló, Ignacio Vaquero, and Anna Valverde.

Poetry was profoundly impacted by the events of the 18th Century, especially the Spring Crisis of 1739. A trio of poets, known as the 'Cárdenas Club', became famous for their poetry; their members consisted of Ramon Ferrandis, Carlos Sabaté, and Estefania Cherro.
