"Argentina's best-known writer during his lifetime, Leopoldo Lugones's work spans many literary styles and ideological positions. He was influential as a modernist poet, as a precursor of the avant-garde, and also as the poet of Argentine nature. His short stories (Las Fuerzas Extranas: 1906) were early examples of the fantastic in Latin American fiction and influenced Borges, Quiroga, and others They reflect an interest in the uncanny ..."

"Ricardo Guiraldes's great novel of the Argentine pampa, "Don Segundo Sombra", published in 1926, has been celebrated both as a national epic and as an elegy for the passing of an era. Newly translated by Patricia Owen Steiner, it is a valuable addition to the University of Pittsburgh's series of translations from 20th-century Latin American poetry and fiction. Its coming-of-age story of a young gaucho, Fabio Caceres, represented for man ..."

The Dissonant Legacy of Modernismo(1st Edition) Lugones, Herrera y Reissig, and the Voices of Modern Spanish American Poetry (Latin American Literature and Culture) by GwenKirkpatrick Hardcover, 240 Pages, Published 1989 by University Of California Press ISBN-13: 978-0-520-06233-7, ISBN: 0-520-06233-7
"This is a provocative new reading of a crucial and often misunderstood period of Spanish American literature. Most studies of modernismohave focused on the poetry of Rubén Darío and have noted the movement's aestheticism and its unmistakable French influences. Kirkpatrick concentrates instead on important negations of harmony and the movement's internal dismantling of its own precepts. Major contradictions within the movement itself are ..."
"Esta coleccion de articulos estudia la relacion entre literatura y nacion desde el mirador de las celebraciones por el Bicentenario, ocurridas en 2010. De la misma manera que la literatura contemporanea resiste entregar resoluciones, sean temporales o estructurales, estos ensayos abren nuevas perspectivas sobre elementos tan antiguos como Potosi y su simbologia como signo de acumulacion y derroche, y tan actuales como la literatura sobr ..."

"Schelling's collection reflects the multi-layered, labyrinthine quality of modernity in Latin America, wedding new cultures to old, external to local, and high to popular.Modernity in Latin America is defined above all by its multi-layered, kaleidoscopic quality. Reminiscent of Octavio Paz's labyrinth, it is a modernity which has accommodated a piling-on of new traditions to old, a blending of external cultures with local, and of high c ..."

"Delmira Agustini, irreverente y visionaria, articula su voz y su sexo entre los pliegues del conflicto de la modernidad. Permite y al mismo tiempo continua la articulacion de otras voces de mujer que evidencian una larga tradicion literaria sistematicamente desestimada por el canon. El presente volumen pretende cuestionar ese canon, replantearlo para dar lugar al vasto aporte de la escritura de mujer en la historia de la cultura y el m ..."
