About this book
Political ideas, family history and literary ambition meet in Austin Craig's account of José Rizal. The biography treats the Philippine patriot's ancestry and historical surroundings as parts of a larger inquiry into the growth of free ideas. Its opening dedication addresses the youth of the Philippines, urging them to study their country's past and judge written claims for themselves. James Alexander Robertson's introduction explains the book's concern with the influences that shaped Rizal's character.
The Madrid episode gives that concern a concrete setting. Among young Filipinos discussing reform, Rizal proposes a book about Philippine conditions, illustrated by Filipino artists. Craig also describes his encounter with a French novel and the sympathy it awakened.
