Here is a comprehensive survey of Early Philippine Literature, covering the Ancient, Spanish, Nationalistic and American periods. Each period is represented by a wide range of selections. The book showcases the entire range of our literary heritage, from our unique ethno-epics, to a wide-ranging literature of religion and morality, to the literature of the Propaganda and Revolution, to our first forays into western literary types. This also includes works of little-known but landmark authors, as well as indigenous literary forms.
