Celestina's Brood Continuities of the Baroque in Spanish and Latin American Literatures

""Roberto GonzÁlez EchevarrÍa'sCelestina's Broodis a profound study of the continuity of Hispanic literature, moving as it does from the greatest writers of the Spanish Golden Age-Rojas, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, CalderÓn-through the transitional figures of Balboa and Medrano-and on to major Latin American imaginations of our age, Carpentier, NicolÁs GuillÉn, and Sarduy. GonzÁlez EchevarrÍa matures here from the disciple of Derrida, de Man, and Foucault into a strong critic with a vision and a method very much his own. He fuses the Baroque and the Romantic, and exemplifies the virtual identity between those two modes in Hispanic literature."-Harold Bloom, Yale UniversityEchevarria, Roberto Gonzalez is the author of 'Celestina's Brood Continuities of the Baroque in Spanish and Latin American Literatures' with ISBN 9780822313717 and ISBN 0822313715.
