(dominican) Pedro Henriques Ureña

99K0

This book is a representative work by Dominican literary critic Enriques Ureña and a classic document on the history of modern and contemporary Spanish-American literature and culture. Since the 19th century, when Latin American countries got rid of colonial rule and gained independence, how to achieve "literary independence" has become a topic of great concern. Ureña reviewed the exploration process of Latin American literature, hoping not to cut off the connection with European cultural traditions, but on this basis to find Latin America's own expression and build Latin America's cultural identity. In the book, he reviews the works of Spanish-American playwrights and poets such as Alarcon, Martinez, and Reyes, and establishes standards for judging literary models.
