"In a recanonization that surpasses the usual belletristic assumptions, Bush argues for the historical, literary, and social importance of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Spanish American poetry in a discussion whose broad purview is signaled by his reading of the continent-wide poetic anthology America poetica (1846), which is the focal point of his conclusions. These arguments are based on the analysis of a wide range of specific texts, including poetry from indigenous and popular cultures, journalistic settings, and other previously neglected sources. In his reassessment of the period, Bush provides a thoroughly revised foundation for the study of the modernistas."--BOOK JACKET.
