Historia De La Literatura Hispanoamericana

Resumen del Libro

The challenges of writing a history of Spanish-American literature – an immense body of works combined with the complexity and heterogeneity of the literary discourses – is met here by giving greater attention to the process of formation and cultural and poetic moments at the expense of individual authors. Offers a corrective to most histories in that it begins with the literary manifestations in Amerindian civilizations. Covers the novel, poetry, theater, and the essay from the colonial period to the present –Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
