Reviews

“The Bibliography indicates Lerzundi’s exceptional expertise on seventeenth century Chilean colonial literature, and the Index includes a thorough list of onomastic, topographic, and commented lexicon. With this book, Lerzundi makes an important contribution to our understanding of colonial literature. Not only does he provide a valuable and accurate critical edition for both scholars and students, but he also makes available to the general reader a work of great historical interest.” – Prof. Marlene Gottlieb, Manhattan College, CUNY Graduate Center

“With this edition Patricio Lerzundi continues to rescue important plays dealing with the conquest of Arauco, Chile, providing readers with a needed insight into a still not well known relationship between Spain and America in Colonial literature.” – Prof. Reginetta Haboucha, Fashion Institute of Technology

“. . . demonstrates an extensive knowledge of both Chilean history of the period and the many chronicles, epics and plays devoted to the Spanish governor García Hurtado de Mendoza.” – Antonio Montero Abt, Society of Chilean Writers
