Eva Peron holds mythic status in Argentina and continues to arouse interest abroad, as is evident from such cultural productions as the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice and the film by Alan Parker. This study offers a new dimension on her impact on literature (along with that of her husband), by extending the focus beyond the novel.
As shown by the worldwide success of both the stage and film versions of Evita, Eva Perón continues to arouse interest beyond the borders of Argentina. Within the country she holds near-mythic status, yet the effect of Peronism on Argentine culture demands to be better understood. Lloyd Hughes Davies opens a new dimension on Perón’s impact by widening the traditional focus on her influence on literature to include autobiographies and biographies. In the process he demonstrates how the boundaries between the novel, life-writing, and historical writing have become increasingly blurred.
