Abstract
The political interests, the intellectual forces, and the attendant cultural activities associated with the project of providing Argentina with a specifically ninteenth-century Liberal identity are custumarily identified with the Generation of 1880. This study will examine a central core of texts that may be considered to constitute a representative canon of the period.
