The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature: Volume 3, Brazilian Literature; Bibliographies

The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature is by far the most comprehensive work of its kind ever written. Its three volumes cover the whole sweep of Latin American literature (including Brazilian) from pre-Colombian times to the present, and contain chapters on Latin American writing in the USA. Volume 3 is devoted partly to the history of Brazilian literature, from the earliest writing through the colonial period and the Portuguese-language traditions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and partly also to an extensive bibliographical section in which annotated reading lists relating to the chapters in all three volumes of The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature are presented. These bibliographies are a unique feature of the History, further enhancing its immense value as a reference work.

• The essential third volume of the first full history of Latin American literature available in English • An major work of reference and a necessary purchase for any serious library • A comprehensive, chronological history containing important new research, with (in Volume 3) full annotated bibliographies
