The great pre-Hispanic civilizations composed narrative accounts of the acts of gods and kings. Conquistadors and friars, as well as their Amerindian subjects, recorded the clash of cultures that followed the Spanish conquest. Three hundred years of colonization and the struggle for independence gave rise to a diverse body of literature?including the novel, which flourished in the second half of the nineteenth century. To give everyone interested in contemporary Spanish American fiction a broad understanding of its literary antecedents, this book offers an authoritative survey of four centuries of Spanish American narrative. Naomi Lindstrom begins with Amerindian narratives and moves forward chronologically through the conquest and colonial eras, the wars for independence, and the nineteenth century. She focuses on the trends and movements that characterized the development of prose narrative in Spanish America, with incisive discussions of representative works from each era. Her inclusion of women and Amerindian authors who have been downplayed in other survey works, as well as her overview of recent critical assessments of early Spanish American narratives, makes this book especially useful for college students and professors. 606 $aSpanish American fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and history$zLatin America 606 $aNational characteristics, Latin American, in literature 615 0$aSpanish American fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and history 615 0$aNational characteristics, Latin American, in literature. 676 $a863.009/98 700 $aLindstrom$b Naomi$f1950-$01122041 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777690703321 996 $aEarly Spanish American narrative$93765373 997 $aUNINA
