Description

Martn Fierro: An Epic of the ArgentineMartn Fierro is a masterpiece of Spanish-language literature that continues to define and inform Argentine culture today. In this text, scholar Henry A. Holmes translates parts of the poem while contextualizing it alongside works of Hernndez's predecessors. In addition, Holmes provides invaluable information on the poet's life, discusses the significance of the gaucho in Argentine literature, and investigates the portrayal of the indigenous peoples of Argentina in the poem. This edition of Jos Hernndez and Henry A. Holmes' Martn Fierro: An Epic of the Argentine is a classic of Argentine literature reimagined for modern readers.

Author Biography:

José Hernández (1834-1886) was an Argentine poet, journalist, and politician. Born on a farm in Buenos Aires Province, he was raised in a family of cattle ranchers. Educated from a young age, he became a newspaperman during the violent civil wars between Uruguay and Argentina through his support of the Federalist Party. He founded El Río de la Plata, a prominent newspaper advocating for local autonomy, agrarian policies, and republicanism. Towards the end of his life, he completed his extensive epic poem Martín Fierro, now considered a national treasure of Argentine arts and culture. Henry A. Holmes was an American translator and scholar. After several years of living in Uruguay and Argentina, he became familiar with the works of José Hernández and the gaucho lifestyle he celebrated. Part translation, part scholarly work, Martín Fierro: An Epic of the Argentine (1923) was published as partial fulfillment of Holmes’ PhD in Philosophy from Columbia University.
