Book Description
Excerpt from Studies by Members of the Department of Romance Languages With the bankruptcy, then, of the primitive-historic theory, after one hundred years of able effort to support it, in what way should the Chansons de geste be studied? They should be studied as we study any other literary genre, in themselves, for what they are and pretend to be, heroic or romantic poems, written from the 11th to the 14th centuries, reflecting the spirit of those times and a product of those times. They Should be read all together, compared with one another, and their relationships noted. No doubt anyone unfamiliar With the history of epic study will say at once: But surely this has already been done, since it has always been the A B C of literary study of a genre. Nevertheless it is exactly this which has not been done, or, to speak more accurately, where it has been done the results have been disregarded; and for reason. Since it was an article of faith that the present poems depended on some earlier form, every study has endeavored to formulate this something earlier and interpret accordingly the present poems.

Book Description
Finalist, 2022 ASLE Ecocritical Book Award Fictional Environments: Mimesis, Deforestation, and Development in Latin America investigates how fictional works have become sites for the production of knowledge, imagination, and intervention in Latin American environments. It investigates the dynamic relationship between fictional images and real places, as the lasting representations of forests, rural areas, and deserts in novels clash with collective perceptions of changes like deforestation and urbanization. From the backlands of Brazil to a developing Rio de Janeiro, and from the rainforests of Venezuela and Peru to the Mexican countryside, rapid deforestation took place in Latin America in the second half of the twentieth century. How do fictional works and other cultural objects dramatize, resist, and intervene in these ecological transformations? Through analyses of work by João Guimarães Rosa, Alejo Carpentier, Juan Rulfo, Clarice Lispector, and Mario Vargas Llosa, Victoria Saramago shows how novels have inspired conservationist initiatives and offered counterpoints to developmentalist policies, and how environmental concerns have informed the agendas of novelists as essayists, politicians, and public intellectuals. This book seeks to understand the role of literary representation, or mimesis, in shaping, sustaining, and negotiating environmental imaginaries during the deep, ongoing transformations that have taken place from the 1950s to the present.
