Ruben Dario (1867-1916) of Nicaragua was the leader of the
important Latin American literary movement known as Modernism. He
is considered by many to be the greatest poet in Latin American
literature, and the volume of writings devoted to his work since
1884 is perhaps greater than that on any other writer in the
history of Spanish American literature. The celebration in 1967 of
the centenary of his birth gave rise to a formidable number of new
analyses, increasing the need for the classification and assessment
of the many studies. In this book Professor Ellis examines and
evaluates the wide range of methods and perspectives available to
the reader of Dario's works. He considers the biographical
approach, social and political questions, influences and sources,
structural analysis (providing three structural studies of his
own), and, in an appendix, Dario's own concept of the role of the
literary critic. His book is comprehensive both in time and in
range, and includes an up-to-date bibliography. This is the first
systematic study of the critical works on a Spanish American
writer. It is significant not only in its treatment of the work on
an individual author, but also as a reflection on and an indication
of the trends, methods, and preoccupations of modern appraisals of
Latin American writing.
