| Summary: | In this article, the zone that Ricardo Rojas devotes to the life and work of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento in the Historia de la literatura argentina (volume “Los proscriptos”) is analyzed, in order to trace the critical relation that these pages establish between critic and author. Among other aspects, there is a study on how, from a drastic process of abridgement and synthesis of Sarmiento’s work, Rojas tries to assume an authority that ultimately produces an inversion of roles between master (Sarmiento) and disciple (Rojas) that will reach its maximum expression in a late text by Rojas (to which this article scarcely alludes): Sarmiento's biography El profeta de la Pampa (1945).
