<div>Ángel Rama was one of twentieth-century Latin America's most distinguished men of letters. <i>Writing across Cultures</i> is his comprehensive analysis of the varied sources of Latin American literature. Originally published in 1982, the book links Rama's work on Spanish American modernism with his arguments about the innovative nature of regionalist literature, and it foregrounds his thinking about the close relationship between literary movements, such as modernism or regionalism, and global trends in social and economic development.</div>
