Childhood in the works of Silvina Ocampo and Alejandra Pizarnik

Two key figures of Argentine twentieth-century literature are brought together in this study which bridges generations and genres; cult poète maudit Alejandra Pizarnik and publicity-shy literary legend Silvina Ocampo. The point of comparison is their shared obsession with childhood, and the variety of ways in which this theme permeates both their literary works and their self-presentation. FIONA MACKINTOSH is lecturer in Hispanic Studies at the University of Edinburgh
