Abstract

The text analyzes Fausto, a gauchesco poem by Estanislao del Campo, and compares it with Gounod's opera and the first part of Goethe's drama, Faust I, probing the place of this parody in the literary system of the River Plate gauchesca and its possible contribution to a reflection on modernization in Argentina in the midst of the Paraguayan War.
