520			_aThe book firmly establishes the rightful place for Francisco Balagtas in the culture, history and literature of Filipinos. It contains new revealing data on the incisive influence of Balagtas works on Filipino patriots Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Apolinario Mabini and others. It also provides deeper insight and understanding of the social, political and economic world of Balagtas of the early 19th century and the events leading to the birth of Filipino nationalism. The book also outlines the essential features of the literary excellence of Balagtas' works, particulary Florante at Laura, and their literary, social, and political impact on Filipino collective consciousness.
