Although the authors already discussed are the most important of the period, there were others whose works are less relevant but undoubtedly contributed to shaping the panorama of national literature and reflecting the particularities of the course of this early Republican period, among whom it is valid to include Luis Rodríguez Embil, Adrián del Valle, Arturo Montori, and Antonio Penichet.

Luis Rodríguez Embil (1879–1954) wrote his only work, “Insurrection,” in 1911. Its artistic achievement was limited, but it illustrates the preparations for and the events of the 1895 War, captured in three chapters: “The Conspiracy,” “The War,” and “The Peace.” Although the author gave greater prominence to the melancholic idyll between the characters, his prose acquires particular descriptive force when describing the atrocious circumstances of the reconcentration ordered by Valeriano Weyler.

Adrián del Valle (1872–1945) published four such works: “Los diablos amarillos” (The Yellow Devils), 1913; “Juan sin pan” (Juan without Bread), 1926; “La mulata soledad” (The Mulatto Solitude), 1929; and “Náufragos” (Shipwrecked), also from the 1920s but of an unspecified date. These works are associated with the author’s anarchist ideology and address the theme of the dispossessed and those marginalized by their race from different perspectives.

For his part, Arturo Montori (1878–1932) published “The Torment of Living. The Sad Loves of a Naive Girl” in 1923, in which he explores the Havana ancestral home of the workers and the first steps toward their organization as a social class. Both the always difficult economic situation and the disenchantment that surrounded the potentially transformative sectors are effectively described, if not with great aesthetic flair.

Antonio Penichet (1885 – 1959) also professed anarchist ideology and wrote the novels “La vida de un pernicioso” (The Life of a Pernicious Man) (1919) and “Alma rebelde” (Rebel Soul) (1921), which, while not known for their literary value or having an adequate narrative structure, stand out for their defense of the Cuban proletariat and their praise of the October Revolution, despite the dam campaign serving North American interests.

Other authors of this period were Gustavo Robreño (1873 – 1975), Tomás Jústiz del Valle (1871 – 1959), Jaime Mayol, Manuel Lozano Casado (1874 – 1939), Rafael A. Cisneros, Guillermo de Montagú (1881 – 1949) and Jesús J. López (1889 – 1948) and others who, without making major contributions, nevertheless contributed to shaping the field of Cuban novels.
