That Borges is one of the key figures in twentieth-century
literature is beyond debate. The reasons behind this claim,
however, are a matter of contention. In Latin America he is read as
someone who reorganized the canon, questioned literary hierarchies,
and redefined the role of marginal literatures. On the other hand,
in the rest of the world, most readers (and dictionaries) tend to
identify the adjective "Borgesian" with intricate metaphysical
puzzles and labyrinthine speculations of universal reach,
completely detached from particular traditions. One reading is
context-saturated, while the other is context-deprived. Oddly
enough, these "institutional" and "transcendental" approaches have
not been pitched against each other in a critical way. Borges,
between History and Eternity brings these perspectives together by
considering key aspects of Borges's work--the reciprocal
determinations of politics, philosophy and literature; the
simultaneously confining and emancipating nature of language; and
the incipient program for a literature of the Americas.
