MORA, Pablo. Reflexiones sobre la imitación y la traducción en la academia mexicana del siglo XIX: un texto de José Ramón Pacheco. Acta poét [online]. 2004, vol.25, n.1, pp.167-181. ISSN 2448-735X.

An essay by José Ramón Pacheco (1838) is presented here and set in context. In it, the differences between translation and imitation are explored, taking as a starting point the Spanish version of Lamartine's poem "The Lake", that had been previously made by [Ignacio] Rodríguez [Galván] and read at a literary academy. It was not very often that this topic was addressed in literary newspapers and magazines of the time.
