Life and work

De la Flor y Casanova was the son of Manuel de la Flor Hernández, a master tailor, and Elodia Casanova de de la Flor, the family was extremely poor. After completing primary school in Teapa he moved to Villahermosa (then called San Juan Bautista) to attend the Instituto Juárez, a preparatory school founded by Manuel Sánchez Mármol. With a scholarship, obtained for him by José Vasconcelos at the request of fellow Tabascan Carlos Pellicer, De la Flor Casanova enrolled in the National Preparatory School in Mexico City. After obtaining a law degree from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1930 he served in the following judicial posts: Secretary of the Criminal Courts in the Federal District from 1930–36; professor at the National Law School, UNAM, 1937–46; Justice of the Peace, 1937–39; Judge of the Superior Tribunal of Justice of the Federal Territories, 1940–42, 1946-58. He was Governor of Tabasco from 1943–46 and was removed from office following a scandal, the details of which remain obscure. He was also a founding member (1936) of the Socialist Lawyers Front of Mexico (Frente de abogados socialistas). He was, as a result of his writings, associated, in the minds of some, with a modern current of libertinage érudit.[1]
