Abstract:

This paper publishes “Pizarro al amo”, a satyrical Leonese language text that appeared in 1879 in the newspaper El Porvenir de León and was unknown until now to the Asturleonese literature studies. In order to understand the importance of this finding, a review of 19^th century literature in Western Asturleonese is made, with particular attention to the few texts from León that are preserved. Subsequently, this literary work is placed in its historical, journalistic and political context, with a thesis on the identification of one of the characters criticised in the text. Finally, a linguistic analysis is done, locating the variety of language used in the text and delving into some of its characteristics.
