In Quest of Identity: Patterns in the Spanish American Essay of Ideas, 1890-1960

by Martin S. Stabb

This book examines an important type of Spanish-American essay--one that deals with the problems of a developing civilization--and places its focus on the history of ideas rather than on literature per se, pointing up the hemispheric pattern of intellectual development in most of the major Spanish-American countries and revealing a general pattern in cultural development.

Originally published in 1967.
