Abstract: Costa Rican literary historiography has been built from the convention that literature arises in the country from the second half of the 19th century. This article proposes a journey through the historical causes of such prejudice and through the disqualifying opinions of Costa Rican literary historians. It proposes the necessary foundation of a historiographical current that, from multidisciplinarity and from the exploration of little-known discursive genres, redefines the object of study of colonial literature. Finally, the necessary tasks for its constitution are postulated as a road map.
