An Introduction to Spanish-American Literature

This book was on the reading list for my Master's in Spanish program. I found it really helpful to read before all of the other books assigned so that I'd have some sort of framework.

I really like the way the author brings and excerpts from the literature and integrates it into the general history of each period and movement.

It's probably the best summary you could hope for in such a concise format. For anyone who's interested in the topic but doesn't have the time to read a 4 volume history, this is a good one. A caveat however, there are some factual errors (a few mistakes on dates of publication, etc.) that better editing should have caught.

I got exactly what I asked for- it was in really good condition. No damage as far as I saw. Great transaction and great price too.

The condition of the book was listed as "good." I do not agree because many pages were underlined in pen. Had I known about the underlining I would not have purchased the item. I could have paid less for other books listed in fair condition. I believe that the seller should have been more specific.

This book as an absolutely amazing resource for any Gringo (like myself) who is studying or is interested in Latin American literature. The subject matter is heavy but it is clearly written with examples. I will without a doubt continue referring to this book in the future. I strongly recommend this book!
