SOL TLACHI, Manuel. Eligio Ancona and Justo Sierra O'Reilly: an elective affinity. Lit. mex [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.2, pp.31-49. ISSN 2448-8216.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.27.2.2016.918.

After explaining some characteristics of Eligio Ancona's narrative, which allow us to include him in the novel of Romanticism, as well as pointing out his admiration for the historical works and novels of Justo Sierra O'Reilly, this article makes precisions using some examples of the presence of the ideas and some narrative techniques of Sierra O'Reilly (La hija del judío, Los indios de Yucatán, etc.) in novels by Eligio Ancona such as La Cruz y la Espada, El filibustero and El conde de Peñalva. This proves that it is possible to consider Eligio Ancona not only as a disciple of Justo Sierra O'Reilly but as his "pupil", one who left aside the costumbrista novel to engage in historical novel.
