Abstract


As a starting point, we observe that the critics of the Hispano-American essay have been far more interested by the ideologies exposed in the genre than by the stylistic form given to these contents. Trying to find a convincing explanation for this situation, we argue, as a hypothesis, that the particular thematic unity of the Hispano-American essay —determined by the social, political and historical situation of the continent— is an important cause of the negligence of stylistic aspects mentioned above. To reinforce our argumentation, we have recourse to the comparison with the French and English essay, which lack thematic unity, on the one hand, and with the Spanish essay, which shares the thematic characteristics of the Hispano-American essay, on the other hand.
