enrique gomez carrillo and the creation of a transatlantic network

The consideration of Enrique Gomez Carrillo as a "minor" author within the modernist literary canon has been recently revisited. Mariano Siskind has emphasized his work as a critic, aimed at placing the literatures of Latin America, France and Spain in comparative global contexts. Hanno Ehrlicher has analyzed the propaganda activities of the Guatemalan poet in creating a network of modernist writers connected thorough literary magazines. In dialogue with Siskind and Ehrlicher, we will explore the importance of Gomez Carrillo by analyzing both, his private epistles and the anthology Cuentos escogidos de los mejores autores castellanos contemporaneos published in 1894.
