This volume features approximately 600 entries that represent
the major writers, literary schools, and cultural movements in the
history of Mexican literature. A collaborative effort by American,
Mexican, and Hispanic scholars, the text contains bibliographical,
biographical, and critical material--placing each work cited within
its cultural and historical framework. Intended to enrich the
English-speaking public's appreciation of the rich diversity of
Mexican literature, works are selected on the basis of their
contribution toward an understanding of this unique artistry.
The dictionary contains entries keyed by author and works, the
length of each entry determined by the relative significance of the
writer or movement being discussed. Each biographical entry
identifies the author's literary contribution by including facts
about his or her life and works, a chronological list of works, a
supplementary bibliography, and, when appropriate, critical notes.
Authors are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced both within
the text and the index to facilitate easy access to information.
Selected bibliographical entries are also listed alphabetically by
author and include both the original title and English translation,
publisher, date and place of publication, and number of pages.
