In this book, Cathy L. Jrade undertakes a full exploration of the modernista project and shows how it provided a foundation for trends and movements that have continued to shape literary production in Spanish America throughout the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJrade opens with a systematic consideration of the development of \u003ci\u003emodernismo\u003c\/i\u003e and then proceeds with detailed analyses of works-poetry, narrative, and essays-that typified and altered the movement's course. In this way, she situates the writing of key authors, such as Rub�n Dar�o, Jos� Mart�, and Leopoldo Lugones, within the overall \u003ci\u003emodernista\u003c\/i\u003e project and traces modernismo's influence on subsequent generations of writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJrade's analysis reclaims the power of the visionary stance taken by these creative intellectuals. She firmly abolishes any lingering tendency to associate \u003ci\u003emodernismo\u003c\/i\u003e with affectation and effete elegance, revealing instead how the \u003ci\u003emodernistas\u003c\/i\u003e' new literary language expressed their profound political and epistemological concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614615421079,"sku":"9780292740457","price":2371.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780292740457.webp?v=1775094982","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/modernismo-modernity-and-the-development-of-spanish-american-literature-9780292740457","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
