Books by Bonifacio Byrne

In republishing Excéntricas (1893) not only will we recover Bonifacio Byrne's most important volume of poetry, but also one of the most important titles of Cuban modernism, and one which will certainly enrich the canon of Spanish-American modernismo.This is both a critical and carefully commented edition of Excéntricas and other selections of Byrne's poetry and prose, which also includes an updated bibliography and a survey of critical approaches to his poetry. The edition also features a rigorous introduction that introduces the author to the reader, places the poet in the context of his time and brings to light his singularity as a modernista poet.Francisco Morán, professor of Spanish-American literature at Southern Methodist University is the editor of this volume. Prof. Morán, who has published extensively on the main figures of modernism, was in charge of the edition of Juana Borrero o la obsesión del obstáculo, also published by Stockcero.
