Email from Thomas Ward (scholar on Manuel González Prada and professor affiliated with Loyola University Maryland), May 3, 2023: (his full name is José Manuel González de Prada y Álvarez de Ulloa, but he never published under that name; sometimes he published as Manuel González Prada (getting rid of the aristocratic “de”), other times he published as Manuel G. Prada, and other times under a pseudonym; one hundred years after his death, people generally call him Manuel González Prada; his father was also losing the partitive “de” in official announcements in Peruvian newspapers when Manuel González Prada was a young man; TWard@loyola.edu)
