About this title

Synopsis

This book examines an important type of Spanish-American essay -- one that deals with the problems of a developing civilization -- and places its focus on the history of ideas rather than on literature per se, pointing up the hemispheric pattern of intellectual development in most of the major Spanish-American countries and revealing a general pattern in cultural development.

Originally published in 1967.
