An issue of essential relevance for Latin America has been the questioning of its cultural identity. Ariel (1900), the important work of Rodó, came to give a channel to emerge from the identity reflection. And not only that, he offered a path based on classical idealism, intellectual intelligence and beauty; proposal that was followed by the youth of all Latin America. In Peru, the Arielista group took these ideas and adapted them from their ideological perspective. This article attempts to describe this social and literary context, offering an overview of each of the member of Peruvian modernist arielismo.
