Böcker av Martin S. Stabb

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.

How political, social, and aesthetic changes made their way into the essayistic writings of twenty-six Spanish American intellectuals.
