Brian L. Weiss

José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi
Escritor mexicano. Es el gran iniciador de la novela americana. En 1812 fundó el periódico liberal El Pensador Mexicano, suspendido por el gobierno de Fernando VII, pero cuyo título se apropió el autor como seudónimo. Su vigor polémico le enfrentó en repetidas ocasiones con el orden constituido. Tras la independencia, dirigió la Gaceta del Gobierno (1825). Sus obras narrativas, que reflejan sus posturas críticas, incluyen El Periquillo Sarniento (1816 y 1830-1831) y La Quijotita y su prima (1818). También cultivó, con menos éxito, la poesía y el teatro. Su autobiografía, Noches tristes y día alegre (1818), contiene los primeros gérmenes del romanticismo mexicano.
