Este libro explora el surgimiento de la historia y la crítica literarias en las Américas durante el siglo XVIII, centrándose en el estudio de la historia natural como matriz de la historia y la crítica literarias, las funciones geopolíticas de la crítica literarias en la prensa periódica, y la recuperación de manuscritos como producto residual de la modernidad.
El estudio cuestiona el conflicto epistemológico provocado por el estado manuscrito de una parte considerable de la erudición del siglo XVIII, en la que los proyectos de una modernidad americana se presentan subyugados pero resilientes al poder de la imprenta europea.

Summary

This book explores the emergence of literary history and criticism in the Americas during the 18th century, focusing on natural history as a matrix for literary history and criticism, the geopolitical functions of literary criticism in the periodical press, and the recovery of manuscripts as a residual product of modernity.
The study questions the epistemological conflicts provoked by the manuscript status of a considerable part of 18th-century scholarship, in which the projects of an American modernity appear subjugated by and yet resilient to the power of the European printing press.
