Spanish American Authors: The Twentieth Century

by Ángel Flores (Editor)

This addition to the Wilson Authors Series from renowned scholar-critic Angel Flores contains profiles (many autobiographical) and extensive bibliographies of over 330 novelists and poets of 20thcentury Spanish America, one of the world's richest sources of significant contemporary literature.

Sketches (many by noted scholars in the field of Latin American Studies) and autobiographies detail lives wrenched by the upheavals of a turbulent era and provide a glimpse into the geopolitics of the Caribbean, Central America, and Spanish South America. Critical insights and assessments of translations accompany biographies and autobiographies.

Scholarly apparatus enables overviews of complete publishing history in Spanish, English translations, and criticism (in Spanish and English) of an enormous mine of great literature.
