Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges conventions and centers the realities and struggles of a singular people, the Gauchos of the Rio de la Plata. Blending historical and literary analysis, this book introduces the reader to Santos Vega, a mythical figure celebrated in folk songs as the greatest improvisational poet of the region, as well as other gaucho poets and their works. The author provides a unique insight into the literature and culture of 19th century Argentina and Uruguay. Celebrating the achievements of "payadores" like Gabino Ezeiza, Juan Gualberto Godoy, and Bartolomà Hidalgo, this book examines the ways in which their poetry articulated the hopes and aspirations of the gauchos and became an expression of resistance against tyranny and oppression. The author sheds light on a vibrant body of work that emerged from the heart of the Pampas, showcasing the richness and diversity of Gaucho poetry, its role in shaping national identity, and its enduring legacy in the literary landscape of South America.
