Description: Puerto Rican Literature: A Bibliography of Secondary Sources Very Good - Text Unmarked - Binding and Cover Clean and Tight - Includes Ephemera - Very Sparse Marginalia (3 pages) - Ready to Ship By -- David William Foster Published by -- Greenwood Press, 1982, Westport CT, xxiii 232 Pages, Ephemera, Bibliography, Hardcover, 9.5" X 6.25" X 1", 1 lb 4 oz. ISBN -- 0313234191 / 9780313234194 [EPHEMERA]"David William Foster's bibliography on Puerto Rican literature fills a void in reference coverage of the literary criticism of Puerto Rican authors. His work facilitates access to material on the writers and provides an accurate and complete picture of literary activity in a part of the United States which is Latin American in character but frequently is omitted from Latin American literary compilations. This omission of what many scholars consider to be the paramount Caribbean literature is politically motivated; it does not reflect the intrinsic quality of the literature. Foster's bibliography examines all secondary sources including critical monographs, academic dissertations, journals, essay collections, and review articles on the work of more than seventy Puerto Rican writers. Special attention is given to the well-known figures of Mariá de Hostos, Marques, Pales Matos, and the new generation of Soto, Diaz Valcárcel, and Luis Rafael Sánchez. Full bibliographic information is provided for all works cited -- a substantial accomplishment in a literary tradition where incomplete and "phantom references" and inaccuracies abound. This volume belongs in every collection of writings by Latin American authors and complements available reference materials on Hispanic literary traditions. All public and university reference libraries should make Foster's critical bibliography available to scholars and students of Spanish-language literatures." #Vintage #bibliophile #Antiquarian #Hispanic #collectiblebooks #PalesMatos #Bibliography #booksforsale #Bookworm #BooksBooksBooks #CuttleboneBooks #MariaDeHostos #Bookstagram #Borinquen #bookcollecting #Bookstagram #LiteraturaBorinquense #booksale #instaread #LatinAmerica #instabooks #readersofinstagram #PuertoRicanLiterature #Books #LuisRafaelSanchez #DavidWilliamFoster
