Florante at Laura, the full title of which was
Pinagdaanang Buhay Nina Florante at Laura sa Kahariang Albanya: Kinuha
sa Madlang Cuadro historico o pinturang nagsasabi sa mga nangyari nang
unang panahon sa imperyo ng Gresya, at tinula ng isang matuwain sa
bersong Tagalog, was written by Francisco (Balagtas) Baltazar in 1838. This awit was dedicated to Baltazar’s sweetheart, Maria Asuncion Rivera or Selya,
who unfortunately married Baltazar’s rival, Mariano Capule. Despite being a love story, Florante at Laura
had underlying nationalistic tones that escaped the eyes of the Spanish
censorship permitting it to be shown in theatres and plays. Adapted in
different literary forms and versions, Florante at Laura,
according to Hermenegildo Cruz, had 106,000 translations among them the
Spanish translation made by Epifanio de los Santos. more
