About this title

Synopsis:

Andres Bello (1781-1865) was one of the most prolific and influential intellectuals in 19th-century Latin America. His long life spanned the late colonial period, the independence movement, and the early republican period to which he made numerous contributions as senator, jurist, diplomat, and educator. This volume includes a selection of Bello's most important writings in the areas of language and literature, politics, education and history.

Review:

Available in English for the first time, the greatest essays and speeches of the 19th-century Latin American educator, politician, and scholar, a leading figure in building a humanistic post-colonial tradition in Latin America. (Kirkus Reviews)
