About the Book

Although Spanish-American literature first came to the attention of a world-wide audience in the 1960s, it enjoys a continuous tradition stretching back to the Conquest. This introduction to the Spanish-American literary canon re-traces that history in a clear and readable style. It contains short, incisive sections on the major literary writers and works of Spanish America from the Conquest to the present day, ranging from the Popul Voh, the Bible of the Mayas, to Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits, a novel on contemporary Chile. The book treats authors in considerable depth, and addresses in particular the social value of the literary work and the ways in which it functioned in the society which gave it life.Dr I STEPHEN M. HART is Reader in the Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies at University College London.

Table of Contents:
Introduction - unpacking the canon; the Amerindian legacy, and the literature of conquest and discovery; colonial and viceregal literature; 19th-century literature; 20th-century literature; some postmodern developments.

About the Author :
STEPHEN M. HART is Professor of Latin American Film, Literature and Culture at University College London, UK.

Review :
A well-reasoned overview... departs significantly from previous attempts in its broad interpretation of the canon to encompass Amerindian writings, texts dating from conquest, as well as recent phenomena such as the Post-Boom. FORUM FOR MODERN LANGUAGE STUDIES Detailed and original analyses of representative texts... especially good coverage of indigenous and colonial writing, works by women writers, and key examples of African Hispanic, Latino/a, gay/lesbian, and testimonial literature... Hart concludes with a superb bibliographic essay.
