Blest Gana studied at the National Institute and accepted a professorship at the University of Chile. In 1857 he was exiled from the country for opposing the government of President Manuel Montt, and lived in various American and European countries.[2]
He returned to Chile in 1863 and entered service as a diplomat to Ecuador, Argentina, and Brazil. In 1894 he served as mayor of Linares.[2]
Guillermo's younger brother Alberto Blest Gana also dedicated himself to writing, and is considered the greatest Chilean novelist of the era.[1] His work is still in print and is required reading in schools. Guillermo's other brother Joaquín practiced literary criticism.[3]
Writing
Gana is best remembered for his lyrical work. He also dabbled, with less success, in novels, short stories, historical dramas, and zarzuelas. He began publishing poetry at age 19 in the Journal of Santiago. In 1858 he founded the Journal of the Pacific in Valparaíso.[2]
