• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Two centuries ago, Villemain described literature as an expression of society; one century later Benedetto Croce replied that what really counts is that literature is always expression. Proving both right, Francine Masiello has written a much-needed book that brings back the aesthetic dimension to a study of current Spanish American literary production grounded on her exceptionally insightful understanding of the current turn in the history of the region."--Tulio Halperin-Donghi, author of "The Contemporary History of Latin America"
