Summary:
The book explores the origins of
Latin
American
literature
in Spanish and tells the story of how Spanish literary language developed and flourished in the New World. The author examines the writings that debated the justice of the Spanish conquests, described the novelties of New World nature, expressed the creativity of Hispanic baroque culture in epic, lyric, and satirical poetry, and anticipated
Latin
American
Independence. The works of Spanish, creole, and Amerindian authors highlighted here, including Bartolom de las Casas, Felipe Guaman Poma, Sor Juana In s de la Cruz, and Andr s Bello, have been chosen for the merits of their writings, their participation in the larger literary and cultural debates of their times, and their resonance among readers today.
