It argues that the novel developed from the discourse of the law in the Spanish Empire during the sixteenth century, while many of the early historical documents concerning the New World assumed the same forms, furnished by the notarial arts. Thus, both the novel and these first Latin American narratives imitated the language of authority. The book explores how the same process is repeated in two key moments in the history of the Latin American narrative. In the nineteenth century, the model was the discourse of scientific travellers such as von Humboldt and Darwin, while in the twentieth century, the discourse of anthropology - the study of language and myth - has come to shape the narrative. Professor Gonza?lez Echevarri?a's theoretical approach is drawn from a reading of Carpentier's Los pasos perdidos, and the book centres on major figures in the tradition such as Columbus, Garcilaso el Inca, Sarmiento, Gallegos, Borges and Garcia Marquez. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Latin American and Iberian literature ;$v3. 517 3 $aMyth & Archive 606 $aLatin American fiction$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric) 606 $aMyth in literature 606 $aLiterature and history 615 0$aLatin American fiction$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric) 615 0$aMyth in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and history. 676 $a863.009/98 700 $aGonza?lez Echevarri?a$b Roberto$0163491 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248231703316 996 $aMyth and archive$91668662 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
