"Este libro es un ensayo sobre dos escritores centrales de la literatura peruana y coloca en el centro de su argumentación la relación literatura-política de una manera brillante y erudita, rastreando las posturas de ambos escritores a través de la historia e identifi cando nudos ideológicos clave, tanto de sus biografías intelectuales como del campo intelectual peruano y latinoamericano.

This book seeks to re-vision the life and work of the Peruvian poet, César Vallejo (1892–1938). It consists of ten essays grouped into three complementary sections on Politics, Poetics and Affect. In Part I, William Rowe draws out the latent layers of political meaning in Vallejo’s ‘pre-political’ work, Trilce; Adam Feinstein weighs the evidence for and against the case that there was a rift between the two most important Latin American poets of the twentieth century (Vallejo and Pablo Neruda); and David Bellis compares and contrasts Vallejo’s Spanish Civil War poetry with that composed by Neruda and the Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén. In Part II, Dominic Moran provides a line-by-li...

Los ensayos reunidos en este volumen se concentran en la producción de narrativa de ficción, novela y cuento, y ofrecen una cobertura amplia de esta producción desde el año 1920 al año 2000.

Se trata, en gran medida, de asuntos, géneros, obras y autores a partir de los cuales se ha definido el canon de esta narrativa a lo largo de las décadas de 1920 y 1970. La segunda sección propone visiones alternativas: presenta cuatro estudios que retan la integridad de una na...
