Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora, one of seventeenth-century Mexico's
best-known intellectuals, was a writer of fascinating and complex
narratives that exemplify the heterogeneous nature of colonial
Spanish American prose. This book, first published in 1993, was the
first critical study to place both the writer and his narrative
within the phenomenon of the barroco de Indias, or the Spanish
American baroque. Approaching Siguenza as criollo historian
preoccupied with the placement of the New World within a universal
context, Professor Ross develops a theoretical framework within
which his texts can be read and understood in the modern era.
Professor Ross incorporates into her examination of the author
methods of critical analysis in the study of colonial Spanish
American literature, such as the use of narrative theory, the
historiography, and feminist criticism.
