Narrative and National Allegory in Romulo Gallegos's Venezuela by Jenni M. Lehti

Description: Narrative and National Allegory in Romulo Gallegos's Venezuela by Jenni M. Lehtinen Venezuelas preeminent educator, politician, and most important author RÃ³mulo Gallegos (1884-1969) left a lasting imprint on how Venezuelans conceive of their national history and identity. Jenni Lehtinen offers the first full-length study of Gallegoss later Venezuelan novels, Canaima (1935), Pobre negro (1937), and Sobre la misma tierra (1943), which have been up to now eclipsed by the critical attention devoted to DoÃ±a BÃ¡rbara (1929). By combining close-readings organized around national allegory and narrative structure with discussions about Gallegoss socio-political essays, the study reveals previously ignored, radical developments in the Venezuelan authors ideologies. Through her bold reinterpretation of the later novels, Lehtinen reveals Gallegos as a far more innovative writer than has been traditionally appreciated.

Review Lehtinens book will remain an indispensable contribution to the critical corpus on Gallegos and to Venezuelan studies in general. -- Juan Pablo Lupi, Bulletin of Spanish Studies 93, 2016, 543Lehtinens book is of interest to established Gallegos scholars and students alike, both accessible and offering up new critical insights. Moreover, it should also be on the radar of Venezuelan scholars more generally, since it is a study that requires us to consider how contemporary and future Venezuelan authors respond to, perpetuate, or depart from the narrative strategies and trajectories traced in and through Gallegoss oeuvre. -- Nicholas Roberts, Modern Language Review 111.4, October 2016, 1151-52 Details ISBN1907322809 Author Jenni M.
