The enormous body of short story anthologies from the nineteen
countries of Spanish America and Brazil testifies to their
importance for writers, editors, readers, and, especially, for
schools and universities, teachers and students. The study of
anthologies and their contents can be particularly revealing for
many of the questions looming large in critical discourse,
particularly those on canon formation and the relations between
literature and cultural institutions; but researching this corpus
is difficult because it varies greatly in quality, distribution,
and format. The present volume for the first time gathers this mass
of material and organizes it for systematic study. The main section
comprises annotated listings of 1302 short story anthologies: those
with stories from all or most of the countries grouped together,
including a section of English-language anthologies; those from
countries of a region; and those from individual nations. For most
entries a full listing of contents is provided along with brief
commentary. A second section comprises annotated bibliographies of
criticism of the short story, similarly arranged with materials for
Latin America as a whole as well as regionally and nationally. The
volume ends with four indexes: of authors of the stories; of
authors of essays, introductions, and other critical materials; of
titles of the critical works; and of themes. An essential tool for
scholars working on Latin American narrative, this bibliography
will also serve as a practical finding aid for individual writers
and stories.
