Excerpt from Novelas Cortas Escogidas
The exciting times which now followed distracted him' for a while from literature and turned his attention to politics. In 1864 he was elected representative of Guadix to the Cortes. His sympathy with the republi cans went SO far, that in 1868 he fought under Serrano against the government. The battle Of Alcolea on September 28, 1868 resulted in the overthrow of the monarchy. But now that the republicans were in power Alarcon's enthusiasm seemed to grow cool, for during the period of the Republic he was comparatively in active. Various political parties rose to power, and Alarcon changed his political views more than once. His enemies did not hesitate to accuse him of duplicity; but there seems to be no reason to doubt that his changes Of party were prompted by changes of honest convictions as well as of political conditions.
