Historia crítica de la literatura colombiana

"Introduction briefly reviews previous histories of Colombian literature and other books that trace evolution of literature in Colombia. Traditional diachronic periodization of generational literary movements with attention to the sociocultural and historic processes that figure in distinct literary genres and representative texts. Study of canonic authors and their works with some figures and texts previously judged secondary. Valuable history of Colombian letters, although inclusion of very few female authors and/or their works is surprising"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
