Argentine Literature History


1940
From 1940 to 1960 The 1940s GENERATION is centered on poetry, where it develops descriptions, nostalgia and memory with Vicente Barbieri, Olga Orozco, León Benarós and Alfonso Sola González. Story tellers lined up with idealism: María Granata, Adolfo Bioy Casares, Julio Cortázar and Manuel Mujica Láinez and realism: Ernesto L. Castro, Ernesto Sábato and Abelardo Arias with an urban touch or elements dealing with the portrayal of manners: Joaquín Gómez Bas and Roger Plá. Essayists are not too numerous: Antonio Pagés Larraya, Emilio Carilla and Luis Soler Cañas.

Among the story tellers we find burning records of the period: Beatriz Guido, David Viñas and Marco Denevi. In most of these writers, there is a perceived influence of Anglo-Saxon and Italian poetry.
