Polemics, Literature, and Knowledge in Eighteenth-Century Mexico is
the first study to comprehensively analyse the configuration of the
idea of the Republic of Letters in an eighteenth-century Latin
American country. Taking a multisided approach to Mexican culture
of the era, this book's analysis of literary texts engages with an
exploration of such concepts as the Republic of Letters and the
archive, as well as their connections to transatlantic polemics on
knowledge production in the New World and debates on philosophical
systems of learning. It furthermore draws upon the history of
science in Mexico in order to trace the development of scientific
thought and its influence on culture, religion, and fiction. This
study proposes that eighteenth-century Mexican writers sought to
establish a place within a global scholarly community for their
local literary republic through the formation of scholarly
networks, the historical exploration of the past and present, and
the creation of new epistemological approaches to literary
production inspired by Enlightenment ideas. This book invites those
devoted to the study of eighteenth-century cultures to engage in an
examination of a lesser-explored scholarly territory and its
networks, and to think about how it was heterogeneously constructed
by many-sided polemics and debates which manifested in a broad
range of literary works.
