The first comprehensive intellectual biography of one of the
greatest cultural figures of the Spanish-speaking world. This
Companion to Jose Enrique Rodo (1871-1917) is the first
comprehensive intellectual biography in English of the great Latin
Americanist, stylist, and writer on the ethical and aesthetic
development of the youth of his subcontinent. Rodo is best known
for his essay Ariel (1900), which marked the consolidation of
modernity in Latin America in the wake of mass immigration and
Spain's crushing defeat at the hands of a United States that
wasimpressing upon its southern neighbours the unequivocal signs of
its might. The circumstances were therefore most propitious for
reflection on what being Latin American meant; Ariel did precisely
that, as it pondered "roots" and proposed future "routes". The book
provides, in chronological order, a detailed and up-to-date
assessment of Rodo's writings, his context and legacy, both
immediate (during the period of arielismo) and current,and draws
widely on unpublished material from the extensive archives of his
papers held in Montevideo. As befits its subject matter, the book's
aim has been idealistic: to cover all relevant aspects of Rodo's
work in order to givethe fullest possible account of his worldview,
including hitherto little-explored areas that shed new light on it,
notably the relationship between his philosophical stance, religion
and politics. Gustavo San Roman is Professor of Spanish at the
University of St Andrews.
