This study considers the ways Spanish American and Brazilian poets
differ from their European counterparts by considering 'Latin
American' as more than a perfunctory epithet. It sets the orthodox
Latin tradition of the subcontinent against others that have
survived or grown up after the conquest then pays attention to
those poets who, from Independence, have striven to express a
specifically American moral and geographical identity. Dr
Brotherson focuses on Modernismo, or the 'coming of age' of poetry
in Spanish America and Brazil, and the importance of the movements
associated with it. He considers Cesar Vallejo and Pablo Neruda,
probably the greatest of the selection, Octavio Paz, and modern
poets who have reacted differently to the idea that Latin America
might now be thought to have not just a geographical but a nascent
political identity of its own. Poems are liberally quoted, and
treated as entities in their own right.
