Stanton, Theodore | August 10, 1921 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Spanish Colonial Literature in South America," by Bernard Moses. Oddly enough the fact is generally overlooked even by the most cultured classes in the United States that literature began to flourish in South America over a century before England appeared in the New World. In Professor Moses's new book the term "literature" is used in the broadest sense, comprehending historical narratives, geographical descriptions, treatises on law and government, and the mystical writings of ecclesiastics. After the histories and the narrative poems, certain of the ecclesiastics and their religious books and certain writers on law and government are discussed.
