Spanish colonial literature in South America
Bernard Moses, professor emeritus at the University of California and a former member of the Philippine Commission, published Spanish Colonial Literature in South America in 1922 under the auspices of the Hispanic Society of America. It is a survey of what was written in and about Spanish South America during three centuries of colonial rule: the early writers of Tierra Firme, the soldiers and friars who recorded the conquest of Peru, the Peruvian and Chilean historians of the later sixteenth century, Ercilla's epic of the Araucanian war, the poets, chroniclers and Jesuit scholars of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the writers of the generation before independence. Moses summarizes, quotes and places each in its setting. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
