In Mexico, the transition from romanticism to Hispanic Modernism was fostered by a notable interest in French Parnassianism, a movement which was given ample publicity by Mexican critics and translators in newspapers and magazines. Gradually, a Parnassian canon was established, which was dominant until around 1898, the year in which the important magazine Revista Moderna was published. There, Parnassianism coexisted with more original tendencies, like decandentism and Symbolism. From then on a new canon oriented the plans of modernity, and Parnassianism began to be written off as simple rhetoric, something more typical of the 19th than the 20th century.
