El artículo examina las concepciones operantes del libro, la lectura y la literatura en Chile, entre 1810 y 1842. Describe la concepción enciclópedica y eminentemente política de lo literario en las dos primeras generaciones de criollos ilustrados y el modo como ella fue conformando un canon para la nueva nación. Contrasta luego el discurso de la utopía ilustrada (entendida como “verdad prematura”) sobre la lectura y el libro con testimonios sobre su realidad. Finalmente enfrenta ambas perspectivas y las vincula a la independencia de la literatura.The article examines the perception about books, reading and literature in Chile, between 1810 and 1842.

It then goes on to establish a constrast between the utopical vision and the real experience in the area of book and reading. The article finally confronts both visions in relation to the independence of literature.
