This book is the first in-depth exploration of the relationship
between Latin American and European modernisms during the long
twentieth century. Drawing on comparative, historical, and
postcolonial reading strategies (including archival research), it
seeks to reenergize the study of modernism by putting the spotlight
on the cultural networks and aesthetic dialogues that developed
between European and non-European writers, including Pablo Neruda,
James Joyce, Leonard Woolf, Virginia Woolf, Jorge Luis Borges,
Victoria Ocampo, Roberto Bolano, Julio Cortazar, Samuel Beckett,
Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, and Malcolm Lowry. The book explores a
wide range of texts that reflect these writers' complex concerns
with questions of exile, space, empire, colonization, reception,
translation, human subjectivity, and modernist experimentation. By
rethinking modernism comparatively and by placing this intricate
web of cultural interconnections within an expansive transnational
(and transcontinental) framework, this unique study opens up new
perspectives that delineate the construction of a polycentric
geography of modernism. It will be of interest to those studying
global modernisms, as well as Latin American literature,
transatlantic studies, comparative literature, world literature,
translation studies, and the global south.
