From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miguel Cané (January 27, 1851 in Montevideo - September 5, 1905 in Buenos Aires) was an Argentine writer, lawyer, academic, journalist, and politician. He held numerous political offices, most importantly Argentine minister of external affairs. His works included Juvenilia (1884), based on memories of his childhood and adolescence; El Viaje 1881-1882 (1884), which recalled impressions of Venezuela and Colombia; and Light Prose (1903), a collection of literary writings. Other writings were published posthumously as Discourses and Lectures (1909).
A prominent member of the Generation of '80, Cané was influenced by naturalism and the Parnassian poets.
