Synopsis

Andres Bello (1781-1865) was one of the most prolific and influential intellectuals in 19th-century Latin America. His long life spanned the late colonial period, the independence movement, and the early republican period to which he made numerous contributions as senator, jurist, diplomat, and educator. This volume includes a selection of Bello's most important writings in the areas of language and literature, politics, education and history.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Andrés Bello was a towering figure in nineteenth-century Latin America, as influential and as famous there as Thomas Jefferson is in the United States. Poet, politician, educator, essayist, philosopher, he wielded astonishing influence and played a major role in shaping the national identities of newly independent Latin American countries. He held several key government positions, authored Chile's civil code, launched several newspapers, wrote prodigiously on a vast array of subjects, and implemented important educational reforms. Available here in English for the first time, the Selected Writings of Andrés Bello, edited by Iván Jaksic, gathers wide-ranging selections that explore such subjects as grammar and philology, constitutional reform, the aims of education, international relations, historiography, Latin and Roman Law, government and society, and many others. The Selected Writings of Andrés Bello gives us a generous sampling of a gifted thinker who must be included in any understanding of the origins and development of Latin America.
