This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.
I suggest that the title be corrected to "Love and Mr. Lewisham", with the full stop included after "Mr". The same consideration should surely apply to all titles in Wikipedia, should it not? After all, a title is a title and a name is a name, and neither should be subject to the whims of the current age. At present, there is no standard in WP, and individual contributors decide whether to modernize titles, at times even inconsistently. Thus, on the H. G. Wells bibliography page, we find Mr. Belloc Objects to "The Outline of History" and The Story of the Late Mr Elvesham, to name but two of the works cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.147.3.11 (talk) 15:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Born in Huamachuco District, he exposed the problems of the Native Peruvians while learning about their way of life. This understanding of how they were oppressed was the focus for his novels. He attended classes at the University of Trujillo, and worked briefly as a journalist for the newspaper El Norte.
In 1930 Alegría joined the Aprista movement, dedicated to social reform as well as improving the welfare of Native Peruvians. He was imprisoned several times for his political activities before finally being exiled to Chile in 1934.
He remained in exile in both Chile and later the United States up until 1948. Later, he taught at the University of Puerto Rico, and wrote about the Cuban revolution while in Cuba. His most well known novel, Broad and Alien is the World (1941) or El mundo es ancho y ajeno, won the Latin American Novel Prize in 1941, and brought him international attention. It depicts an Andean community, living in the Peruvian highlands. The book was later published in the United States and has been reprinted many times, in multiple languages. He lived in Puerto Rico, USA and Cuba.
Alegría returned to Peru in 1960. He joined President Fernando Belaúnde Terry's party (Acción Popular) and was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1963. He died unexpectedly in Lima, Peru on February 17, 1967. After his death, his widow Dora Varona published many of his essays and reports he had written for various newspapers.[1] He was 57 years old.
