Resumen:
AMONG THE numerous texts offered to students in Spanish
courses there are included but fcw examples of thc rich and varied
literature of Spanish America. This deficiency is largely
due to the erroneous idea that, sincc that part of the world is
young politically, it must ncccssarily be so culturally. .But such
is not thc case.
From the Colonial Period to the prcsent time, the lands south
of the Río Grande have produccd authors of first rank whose
writings, becausc of their subject matter and style, have been
included among those from Spain and thus lost sight of as
Spanish-American.
