The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature
Edited by
Roberto González Echevarría and Enrique Pupo-Walker
The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature is by far the most comprehen­
sive and authoritative work of its kind ever written. Its three volumes cover the whole
sweep of Latin American literature (including Brazilian) from pre-Columbian times to
the present, and contain chapters on Latin American writing in the US. Over forty
specialists in North America, Latin America, and Britain have contributed to what is
not only the most reliable, up-to-date, and convenient reference work on its subject,
but also a set of books containing innovative approaches and fresh research that will
expand and animate the field for years to come. The History is unique in its thorough
coverage of previously neglected areas, in its detailed discussion of countless writers in
various genres, and in its inclusion of extensive annotated bibliographies.
Volume i begins with pre-Columbian traditions and their first contact with European
culture, continuing through to the end of the nineteenth century. New World
historiography, epic poetry, theatre, the novel, and the essay form are among the areas
covered in this comprehensive and authoritative treatment.
Volume 2 provides coverage of all genres from the end of the nineteenth century up to
Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and beyond to 1990, thus including
discussion of Spanish American literature's best-known works. The novel, poetry,
autobiographical narrative, the short story, Afro-Hispanic American literature,
theatre, and Chicano literature are among the areas treated in this wide-ranging
volume.
Volume 3 is devoted partly to the history of Brazilian literature, from the earliest
writing through the colonial period and the Portuguese-language traditions of the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and partly also to an extensive bibliographical
section in which annotated reading lists relating to the chapters in all three volumes of
The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature are presented. These biblio­
graphies are a unique feature of the History, further enhancing its immense value as a
reference work.
