Summary:

Novelist, scholar, journalist, statesman, and leading member of Chile's "Generation of 1842" - an intellectual movement so named for the founding of the National University - José Victorino Lastarria (1811-1888) lived his life at the forefront of nineteenth-century Chilean and Spanish American culture, literature, and politics. 'Recuerdos Literarios' (or 'Literary Memoirs') is his masterpiece, encompassing the candid memories of a tireless activist, both the creative and critical sensibilities of an influential Latin American early modernist, and an eyewitness account of the development of Chilean literature and historiography.
