The author of this article intends to show that the importance of Echeverr{\´i}a for the development of Argentine national literature goes beyond the spreading of Romanticist aesthetics. Especially his poem La cautiva (1837) has been regarded as the national epic poem of Argentina because it represents national landscape and the early days of national history. However, as the classification of this narrative poem as the national epic poem already indicates, Echeverr{\´i}a also contributed to the presence of this prestigious genre at the River Plate region. By investigating Echeverr{\´i}a's less known verse texts - namely the texts which were read by all Romantics but which have been neglected by literary studies so far - this article illustrates that Echeverr{\´i}a gave decisive impulses for the presence of the epic poem at the River Plate.}, subject = {Echeverr{\´i}a, Esteban}, language = {de} }
