- 2 Want to read
"The Politics of Philology offers an insightful assessment of how the work of Alfonso Reyes helped to create the role of the writer as a public intellectual in Latin America. Robert T.
Conn reconstructs Reyes's model of intellectual community, tracing its links to the various strands of the nineteenth-century tradition of philology, and arguing that Reyes was influential in forging a sense of unity among the Latin American writers of his generation based on their belonging to a common artistic circle, and on shared notions about the nature of art and its relation to society.".
"The Politics of Philology will appeal to scholars of Latin American literature interested in questions of nation formation, and to scholars of Mexican history who have increasingly tended to work with cultural models of historical research."--BOOK JACKET.
