Overview

José Hernández's Martin Fierro is considered the foremost work of the gaucho literary genre. The first part, a critique of the Argentine politico-social system, details the persecution of the title character by institutions of power, while the second part presents a clear response to the gaucho problem and with it the reconciliation of civilization and frontier in 19th-century Argentine society. Martín Fierro is the national poem of Argentina.
