Bello, Andrés

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Bello, Andrés (1781-1865)

Venezuelan poet and polymath. Regarded as the intellectual father of Latin America, a friend and teacher of the patriot Simón Bolívar, he translated the Romantics Byron and Hugo but defended Neoclassicism in literature. He celebrated the flora of tropical America in the widely read Virgilian stanzas Silvas a la agricultura de la zona tórrida/Agriculture in the Tropics (1826), part of an unfinished epic América. In the service of the new republic of Chile he was an enormously influential educational and legal reformer; he also published an important grammar of the Spanish language in 1847 which is still in use.
