1936-1930
The increasing interest in the literature of the Latin American
countries is a most encouraging sign. Not only are colleges and uni-
versities giving more importance to the subject, but public libraries,
women's clubs and similar organizations are eager to secure references
that will permit them to obtain an idea of what Latin America is think-
ing and reading. This bibliography has been prepared especially for
the reader whose main interest is not Spanish, but who is anxious to
get a glimpse of life in Latin America as revealed in literary works.
The references - all in English are to publications found in the ma-
jority of the college and city libraries of the United States.
We might add that this bibliography is itself a graphic indication
of this growing interest in Latin American literature. Writing in
1912, Dr. Alfred Coester of Stanford University, who has done invalu-
able pioneer work in the field, stated that a thorough search of
Poole's Readers' Index revealed only one reference to the subject, a
review dated as far back as 1849 of a few volumes of Mexican and Cuban
poetry. Today, after consulting only the publications that are most
accessible, we have gathered a sufficient number of titles to permit
the student who does not know Spanish to gain a fair command of the
general field, learn something of the literary activities in most of
the countries, form an estimate of some of the leading authors and
poets, and acquire information on special fields such as poetry, fic-
tion and the drama. The book reviews and the English translations will
serve to acquaint the reader with several books published in Latin
America. In view of the important role that the newspaper plays and
has always played in fostering literary production in Latin America,
2
a list of references on journalism has been included.
After reading the general surveys, the student will probably wish
information on some poet or author not included in this list of refer-
ences. A definite problem will then arise. To solve it, we suggest a
little adventure in discovery. The Readers' Guide to Periodical Lit-
erature for the last twelve years is most helpful. The files of the
following magazines will prove a veritable mine of information and a
source of interesting translations: Books Abroad; Bulletin of the Pan
American Union; Chile Pan Am (formerly Chile, A Magazine of Chilean
Affairs); The Dial; Hispania; Hispanic American Historical Review;
Inter-America; Living Age; Pan American Magazine; Poet Lore; Poetry.
