Editing Veracruz (section)

===Literature===
The literary arts reached their peak in Veracruz starting in the 19th century and extends to the "Generation of the 1950s". [[Salvador Díaz Mirón]] is one of Veracruz's most-distinguished poets. Over his lifetime from the latter 19th to early 20th centuries, he worked as a professor, politician and journalist contributing to periodicals such as El Veracruzano, El Orden, and El Imparcial. His creative works include some of the first Romantic pieces produced in Mexico such as Oda a Víctor Hugo, Ojos verdes, Gloria and Voces interiores. Other works include ''Poesías A Tirsa'', ''Nox'' (also known as ''Claudia'') and his last works such as ''Al buen cura'' and ''La mujer de nieve''. He became a member of the [[Academia Mexicana de la Lengua]] and is buried at the [[Panteón de Dolores|Rotonda de los Hombres Ilustres]] in Mexico City. [[María Enriqueta Camarillo]] was one of a number of women writers to gain prominence in Mexico at the end of the 19th century. While she wrote a number of works such as ''Jirón del mundo'', ''Sorpresas de la vida'' and ''El Secreto'', she is best known for ''Rosas de la infancia'', with which many Mexicans learned to read.<ref name="rincones1618">González, pp. 16–18</ref>

Writers born at the end of the 19th century, such as [[Gregorio López y Fuentes]], [[Manuel Maples Arce]] and [[Jorge Mateo Cuesta Porte-Petit]] were often concerned with social issues. Works of this type include El Indio by López, Metrópolis by Maples and a poem called ''Canto a un dios mineral'' by Cuesta. The following generation, born in the first decades of the 20th century, became known as the Generation of the 1950s. During this time Veracruz's literary tradition consolidated and decided to break type. One example is [[Juan Hernández Ramírez]]'s writing of poetry in the [[Nahuatl]] spoken in the [[La Huasteca]] area of Veracruz. One important name from this generation is [[Emilio Carballido]] who wrote about 100 plays as well as scripts for radio and television. Some of his works include ''Rosalba y los llaveros'', ''Felicidad'' and ''Las visitaciones del Diablo''. In 1996, he won the [[National Prize of Arts and Sciences (Mexico)|Premio Nacional de Literatura]] and in 2002 he received the [[Ariel de Oro]] for his work in cinema.<ref name="rincones1618"/>
