A study of the feminine principle and its identification with language in the work of the contemporary Portuguese poet Herberto Helder. This study takes as its central theme the identification of woman and language, poem or word in the poetry of Herberto Helder. It is above all as a mediator - between male and female, conscious and unconscious, flesh and spirit, creator and creation - that Helder's special genius is demonstrated.JULIET PERKINS    is Lecturer in Portuguese at King's College, University of London.

Although Spanish-American literature first came to the attention of a world-wide audience in the 1960s, it enjoys a continuous tradition stretching back to the Conquest. This introduction to the Spanish-American literary canon re-traces that history in a clear and readable style. It contains short, incisive sections on the major literary writers and works of Spanish America from the Conquest to the present day, ranging from the Popol Vuh, the Bible of the Mayas, to Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits, a novel on contemporary Chile. The book treats authors in considerable depth, and addresses in particular the social value of the literary work and the ways in which it functioned in the society which gave it life. STEPHEN M. HART is Professor of Hispanic Studies, University College London, and Profesor Honorario, Universidad de San Marcos, Lima.
