Abstract
Laera proposes to outline the formation of the genre of novel writing in Argentina. She argues that Gutiérrez and Cambaceres were the driving forces behind the emergence of the novel in Argentina in the 1880s, and that only then and thanks to them did this form of writing become a widely practiced one.
