Seeks to discover in Spanish American colonial writing the roots of Hispanoamerican social and cultural identity. Drawing on the literature of the European Middle Ages and early Renaissance--particularly on medieval notions of "the good house" in the Great Chain of Being--Promis describes the transference of Iberian literary and cultural ideals to the Americas and their subsequent transformation into Latin American colonial forms.
