Foster, David William
The chapters in this volume are contributions toward a reassessment
of contemporary Latin American writing and are based on the strategy of willfully imposing a perspective at radical variance with the existing bibliography on the subject. By eschewing the approach of a historical overview, by focusing on works that are not predominantly available in English
translation, by choosing categories that do not evoke prevailing literary norms, and by concentrating on writings that rashly juxtapose well-known works with relatively unknown ones, the author hopes both to suggest a more comprehensive (although necessarily fragmentary) panorama of Latin American fiction and to suggest a consideration of works on the basis of criter~a other
than their "international stature" or the extent to which they
represent Spanish-language variations on modalities whose
importance has been established by French or American example.

Foster, David William
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.

Marinelli, Peter V.
In remarkably intensified form the fortunes of Orlando Furioso repeat the history common to the group of which it is really a very uncommon member. It was immediately and indisputably the poem of its age, challenged only by Gerusalemme Liberala, and then only after a crisis in European thought. It ran through well over one
hundred and fifty separate editions in the sixteenth century alone' and, singular among Renaissance epics of any nation, spoke in every major and many a minor European tongue. Till roughly a century ago it was a staple in the formation of an educated western sensibility, its prime importance lying in its pivotal role in the transmission of the epic tradition. Part
I attempts to set in relief some of the signal features of the Innamorato, as constituting a kind of poetic capital that proved especially profitable for Ariosto when he combined it with a wide variety of interrelated Neoplatonic resources. Part II concerns itself with events and issues that intervened massively between the Innamorato and the Furioso - political changes, Vergilian scholarship, Neoplatonic love-lore, the impact of Lucianistic writing - and that are essential for understanding its content and structure.
