In this book, Cathy L. Jrade undertakes a full exploration of the modernista project and shows how it provided a foundation for trends and movements that have continued to shape literary production in Spanish America throughout the twentieth century. Jrade opens with a systematic consideration of the development of modernismo and then proceeds with detailed analyses of works-poetry, narrative, and essays-that typified and altered the movement's course. In this way, she situates the writing of key authors, such as Rubén Darío, José Martí, and Leopoldo Lugones, within the overall modernista project and traces modernismo's influence on subsequent generations of writers. Jrade's analysis reclaims the power of the visionary stance taken by these creative intellectuals. She firmly abolishes any lingering tendency to associate modernismo with affectation and effete elegance, revealing instead how the modernistas ' new literary language expressed their profound political and epistemological concerns.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780292740457","publication_date":"19981101","publisher":"University of Texas Press","slug":"modernismo-modernity-and-the-development-of-spanish-american-literature","subtitle":"","title":"Modernismo, Modernity and the Development of Spanish American Literature"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"LIT004100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Caribbean & Latin American Criticism","score":0.8012,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"LIT004280","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Iberian Lit Crit","score":0.7925,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"LIT004050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Hispanic American Lit Crit","score":0.7739,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"LIT004100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Caribbean & Latin American Criticism","score":0.8012,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"LIT004280","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Iberian Lit Crit","score":0.7925,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"LIT004050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Hispanic American Lit Crit","score":0.7739,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"LIT004100","confidence_band":"high","label":"Caribbean & Latin American Criticism","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Caribbean & Latin American Criticism","score":0.8012,"slug":"caribbean-latin-american-criticism"},{"label":"Iberian Lit Crit","score":0.7925,"slug":"iberian-lit-crit"},{"label":"Hispanic American Lit Crit","score":0.7739,"slug":"hispanic-american-lit-crit"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Caribbean & Latin American Criticism","Good for readers who enjoy Caribbean & Latin American Criticism and Iberian Lit Crit."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Gayle Rogers"],"book_id":"9780231178563","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780231178563.jpg?v=20260418T162306Z%3A2026-04-18T16%3A23%3A06Z","score":13.3078,"title":"Incomparable Empires","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780231178563"},{"authors":["Raymond Leslie Williams","Raymond L.
