Covering Mexican literary history from pre-Columbian literature to the twenty-first-century, including works from Greater Mexico, this book is the most comprehensive study on Mexican poetry available in English. It examines key authors, such as Bernando de Balbuena, Juana de Asbaje, Ramón López Velarde, José Gorostiza, and Octavio Paz, and considers how they should be read today. Individual chapters focus on important movements, poetic forms, and topics, such as epics, lyric poetry, romanticism, modernism, poetry and performance, poetry in indigenous languages, Mexican American and Chicanx poetry, and the relationship between Mexican literature and gender. This book provides a global understanding of Mexican poetry, its institutions and its main authors for students and scholars in any discipline connected to the subject.
