A comprehensive survey of Spanish American fiction as it has
eveolved through successive phases. With such figures as Jorge Luis
Borges, Miguel Angel Asturias and Gabriel Garcia Marquez (both the
latter Nobel Prizewinners) Spanish American fiction is now
unquestionably an integral part of the mainstream of Western
literature.This book draws on the most recent research in
describing the origins and development of narrative in Spanish
America during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, tracing the
pattern from Romanticism and Realism, through Modernismo,
Naturalism and Regionalism to the Boom and beyond. It shows how,
while seldom moving completely away from satire, social criticism
and protest, Spanish American fiction has evolved through
successive phases in which both the conceptions of the writer's
task and presumptions about narrative and reality have undergone
radical alterations. DONALD SHAW holds the Brown Forman Chair of
Spanish American literature in the University of Virginia.
