Do you know when César Vallejo was born? Was he a communist or a lapsed
Catholic, or both? Do you know what he died of? Did you know that a new
collection of hand-written manuscripts has been recently discovered in
Montevideo? Youmay not know the answer to all these questions (some of
them may be unanswerable) but this book will help you to identify and
compare the competing answers. It describes and evaluates the
manuscripts, editions, books, collectionsof essays, articles,
translations, and doctoral theses written about Vallejo by a wealth of
scholars since Vallejo's death on Good Friday 1938.
