Abstract

ARIZ-CASTILLO, Yenny. Lagar II, by Gabriela Mistral: a history of the poetry collection’s manuscripts and the various versions of the poem ‘Convite a la danza’. Co-herencia [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.29, pp.283-309. ISSN 1794-5887.  https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.15.29.11.

The first section of this paper reports the results of a research study on the manuscripts included in the posthumous poetry collection Lagar II (1991) by Gabriela Mistral. The second section addresses the reception of the text by Chilean scholars. Finally, the third section focuses on the study of both the first poem of Lagar II collection ‘Convite a la danza’- and of its various versions, demonstrating the use of stanzas discarded from preliminary versions of the poem in posthumous editions, in which these fragments appear as unpublished works. The analysis follows the theoretical principles of the so-called ‘genetic criticism’, particularly, the concept of ‘genetic dossier’.

Keywords : Gabriela Mistral; Lagar II; Almácigo; Baila y sueña; manuscripts; genetic criticism.
