DESCRIPTION:
Its coverage ranges from colonial times to the present day, the later chapters having been radically rewritten to take account of the most recent developments in both literature and criticism. This is a revised, updated edition of Jean Franco's classic Introduction to Spanish-American Literature, first published in 1969 and much recommended ever since. English translations are provided for Spanish quotations in the text, and the extensively updated reading lists of primary and secondary material refer not only to Spanish texts but also, where available, to editions in English.

I got exactly what I asked for- it was in really good condition. No damage as far as I saw. Great transaction and great price too.. Book noname The condition of the book was listed as "good." I do not agree because many pages were underlined in pen. Had I known about the underlining I would not have purchased the item. I could have paid less for other books listed in fair condition. I believe that the seller should have been more specific.
