About the Project

An independent documentary library and cultural magazine devoted to José Hernández and Martín Fierro.

A documentary library

The original poem is organized into its two books, cantos, identified stanzas and verses. Research and navigation are maintained separately from the source transcription.

A cultural magazine

The publication explores gauchesque literature, nineteenth-century Río de la Plata history, rural culture, literary criticism and reception. Documented evidence, modern interpretations and digital reconstructions are distinguished.

Our method

Textual provenance and editorial interventions are documented in the English Sources and Editorial Integrity page. The project repository maintains versioned code and documentary material.

Independence

MARTINFIERRO.ORG is an independent digital editorial project, not a government body or official public institution.

This English page describes the same underlying project as its Spanish counterpart. In case of a material discrepancy, consult the original project documentation and request an editorial correction; neither version is represented as independently certified legal advice.
