BORGES Y LAS LETRAS ESPAÑOLAS: ENCUENTROS Y DESENCUENTROS.

This article deals first with Borges' reception as a canonic author, a goal which he aimed at since the Thirties by questioning generic classifications and national literature, and from the view of a rewriting's poetic. The central corpus of the work, Borges and the Spanish literature he disliked, renders an unfixed and hedonist canon, based on his own aesthetics, and resting on two points: the exercise of literature, and the various metaphysics within it. Borges' corpus rescues a remarkably scanty number of names: Unamuno, Quevedo and the Baroque, Cervantes and especially the Quijote. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
