The works chosen for World Literature and Its Times 5: Spanish and Portuguese Literatures and Their Times have been carefully selected by professors in the field at the universities listed in the Acknowledgements. Keeping the literature-history connection in mind, the team made its selections based on a combination of factors: how frequently a literary work is studied, how closely it is tied to pivotal events in the past or present, and how strong and enduring its appeal has been to readers in and out of the society that produced it. Attention has been paid to contemporary as well as to classic works that have met with critical and/or popular acclaim.
