Latin American Literature

[Spanish-American Literature]
Latin American literature, centered on Spanish America, has a history of about 500 years, beginning with the Age of Discovery and Conquest at the end of the 15th century, passing through the colonial period, entering the era of independence, and continuing to the present day. First, in the Age of Discovery and Conquest, the history of literature is shaped by the diaries, records, reports, chronicles, and letters of the conquerors and clergy who participated in the conquests. Major works include the handwritten Journal of the Voyages of Columbus by Las Casas, Hernán Cortés' Five Reports (1519-26), Las Casas' Concise Account of the Destruction of the Indies (1552), and Bernal Díaz del Castillo's (1495/96-1584) Historia de Conquest de New Spain (1552).
