Abstract
Early on, Estanislao del Campo’s Faust (1866) already incorporates fantastic elements anticipating the two sources from which nineteenth-century Argentine literature will nurture: first, the beliefs and superstitions of the people of the region and, secondly, the importation of fantastic foreign imagery from abroad. In the first part of this work, I will study the poem within the context of gaucho literature and, in the second one, I will analyze the artifices of the fantastic literature detected, both in the story as told by Anastasio el Pollo about his vision of the devil in the city, and in the reception of the story as heard by Don Laguna.
