Abstract

En esta disertacion, siguiendo las bases establecidas por la sociologia de la literatura, tengo dos propositos: elucidar la posicion de Galvez como escritor dentro de la sociedad en que le toco vivir y que le era, en muchos sentidos, hostil y describir como veia a la situacion del escritor en ella. Al estudiar a Galvez no se puede olvidar que su principal preocupacion era el mismo en cuanto a su situacion de escritor frente a la sociedad, y que es el tema basico de mi trabajo.

El segundo capitulo es una presentacion general de las letras argentinas a principios de siglo, con mencion especial de la influencia en esta de la presencia de Ruben Dario, enfocandome someramente en el tema del heroe intelectual de la novela modernista. En el tercero estudio a Galvez a traves de la critica que recibio su obra en el transcurso de su vida y postumamente, para poder llegar a establecer el lugar que ocupa su obra dentro de la historia de la literatura argentina. Se analizara alli no solo su personalidad sino rasgos propios de estilo.

En el cuarto capitulo se encuentra la parte comparativa de mi estudio, donde presento a dos figuras que tenian pertinencia especial como antecedentes a la obra de Galvez. Hago primero un analisis de Sin rumbo (1885) de Eugenio Cambaceres. En la segunda parte estudio a El triunfo de los otros (1907) de Roberto Payro.

En el capitulo quinto estudio a El diario de Gabriel Quiroga (1910), que trata sobre el artista literario como ser incomprendido por una sociedad materialista sin valores espirituales que defender. En el sexto y septimo analizo a La maestra normal (1914) y El mal metafisico (1916), con un intelectual que trata de adaptarse al medio en la primera novela, mientras que en la segunda es derrotado por la indiferencia general de la sociedad.

En la parte final de mi trabajo, estudio a la obra ensayistica de Manuel Galvez La Argentina en nuestros libros (1935). Alli se da un estudio pormenizado del mercado argentino del libro de la epoca.

In this dissertation, following the bases established by the sociology of literature, I have two purposes: to elucidate Galvez's position as a writer within the society in which he lived and which was, in many ways, hostile to him, and to describe how he saw the situation of the writer in it. When studying Galvez, one cannot forget that his main concern was himself regarding his situation as a writer in relation to society, and that is the basic theme of my work.

The second chapter is a general presentation of Argentine literature at the beginning of the century, with special mention of the influence on it of the presence of Ruben Dario, briefly focusing on the theme of the intellectual hero of the modernist novel. In the third, I study Galvez through the criticism that his work received throughout his life and posthumously, in order to establish the place that his work occupies within the history of Argentine literature. Not only his personality but also his own style traits will be analyzed there.

In the fourth chapter is the comparative part of my study, where I present two figures that had special relevance as antecedents to Galvez's work. I first make an analysis of Sin direction (1885) by Eugenio Cambaceres. In the second part I study The Triumph of Others (1907) by Roberto Payro.

In the fifth chapter I study The Diary of Gabriel Quiroga (1910), which deals with the literary artist as being misunderstood by a materialist society without spiritual values to defend. In the sixth and seventh I analyze The Normal Teacher (1914) and El Mal Metafisico (1916), with an intellectual who tries to adapt to the environment in the first novel, while in the second he is defeated by the general indifference of society.

In the final part of my work, I study Manuel Galvez's essay The Argentina in our books (1935). There is a detailed study of the Argentine book market of the time.
