The three-volume set LITERATURAS HISPÁNICAS were written at the peak of the careers of Drs. Ivan Schulmann and his partner Evelyn Picón-Garfied. They were a colorful, delightful, powerhouse academic couple (who could forget their matching fur coats?) who oversaw the careers of stunning young professors such as James F. Lee (¿Qué te parece...?) and Bill VanPatten (Destinos), and scores of graduate students who are now leaders in the field of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Used together, these three volumes: Introducciòn, España, Hispanoamérica - provide annotated and brilliant insight into Hispanic Literature. They are also well-suited to a two-semester course using the Intoducción volume with both courses, then España in the Fall and Hispánoamerica in the Spring. These are written entirely in Spanish, fully documented and well researched - these can and should be used throughout the Spanish-speaking world; not just with non-native speakers of Castillian.
