ABSTRACT

This article analizes the image of the ‘ragman’ and the ‘ragwoman’ in literature, journalism and in different visual arts, mainly in the XIX century. The ragman, an allegory of the writer and the artist, had a great success in the Frech literature of manners, and this image was adopted by other european countries. In Spain, for example, Mariano José de Larra and Mesonero Romanos used this figure in urban scenes. At the end, this study analyzes an article published by the Costa Rican newspaper <<La Nación>> in order to show the survival of the beggar-philosopher of our days.

Key Words: Ragman, literature of manners, interartistic comparatism.
