Biographical criticism is located in the crossroads between literature and social sciences; it has a strict historical methodology and a penchant for narrative. In this article we want, firstly, to revise its theoretic grounding and, secondly, its application in the life and works of Augusto Monterrosso. Due to various reasons, including fear of anachronism, hispano-american academy followed, from its consolidation in the half of the XXth century, the new trends of European theory –semiotics, estructuralism and post-estructuralism– while rejecting Biographical criticism as old fashioned. It is the goal of this article to reestablish biographical criticism importance (theoretical and practical) for the Hispano-American literary criticism.
