A study of Spanish American autobiography from the post-colonial nineteenth century to the present day.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This is a study of Spanish American autobiography from its beginnings in the post-colonial nineteenth century to the present day. Spanish American autobiographies are shown to be fascinating hybrids, aspiring to documentary status while unabashedly exalting the self, and dwelling on personal experience while purporting to be exercises in historiography.
