Abstract
In spite of Julia Ferrer being a significant figure in the Peruvian intelli- gentsia of the mid-century, her work has fallen into oblivion. The aim of this research has been to vindicate Ferrer's work through the study of her only two collections of poems, Imágenes porque sí (1958) and La olvidada lección de las cosas olvidadas (1966). First, Imágenes porque sí is studied in the light of the political and poetic context of the mid-cen- tury and the literary influences present in the book.. We then analyze La olvidada lección de las cosas olvidadas as an example of the consolidation of the author's poetic voice. Special attention is paid to recurring themes in her work, such as time, oblivion and the questioning of an established language. Through this study, we have sought not only to recover the relevance of Julia Ferrer in Peruvian literature, but also to open possible lines of research on her work.
