Latin American Literatures In The World Literatur und Unabhängigkeit, Book 18, (Hardcover)

The study writes a cultural history of transatlantic relations of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Using the example of the Neo-Spanish Dominican fray Servando Teresa de Mier (1763-1827), it examines how Hispanic American writers of the transition between the early modern and modern period transgressed geographic, cultural, and discursive border regimes, thereby preparing the political and literary independency of the previous Spanish colonies.
