As a writer, Gutiérrez Nájera managed to bridge the gap between romanticism and the contemporary movements of modernismo and Symbolism in North America. He used several pseudonyms throughout his writing career, but his best known signature is El Duque Job, made famous by his poem La Duquesa Job, in which Duke Job sings of his Duchess's incomparable beauty and charm. Other pseudonyms of Gutiérrez Nájera's include Raphael, Frú-Frú, Puck, Junius, Recamier, Juan Lanas, El Cura de Jalatlaco, El Perico de los Palotes, and Mr. Can-Can. Gutiérrez Nájera likely resorted to using such a wide variety of pen names in the hopes that the people of Mexico City would not tire of reading so many pieces by the same author. In addition to using pen names, Gutiérrez Nájera simply signed some of his works with professional titles, such as "the farmer" ("el campesino), "the priest" ("el sacerdote"), or whatever other position would lend credibility to his opinions.

Gutiérrez Nájera's first works appeared in La Iberia in 1873, when he was just 13 years old. His verse was influenced heavily by French writer Paul Verlaine, as well as by Alfred de Musset, Théophile Gautier, and Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, among others. His essay, Art and Materialism, was published in La Iberia in 1876 and is considered to be the first modernist manifesto. He was the founder of the Mexican magazine Revista Azul alongside fellow friend and writer Carlos Díaz Dufoo in 1894. Besides pioneering the modernist movement in Mexico himself, Gutiérrez Nájera's Revista Azul helped to establish several aspiring young modernist authors of the time, including José A. Castillón.[7] He was also an editor of Mexico City periodical, El Partido Liberal. Just before his death, he was named president of La Asociación de Prensa de México (Mexico's Associated Press). Due to the brevity of his career, as well as his tendency to use a wide range of pseudonyms, most of Gutiérrez Nájera's works was not organized into collections until after his death. Many of his works were published posthumously. OUR MISSION STATEMENT: Our goal is to provide the best books for the lowest prices.
