This volume explores the theme of childhood in the cuentista and poet Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993) and the poet Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972). It draws revealing comparisons between these key Argentine writers through their shared obsession with childhood, arguing that an understanding of their attitudes to childhood is fundamental to an appreciation of their work. Close reading of various Ocampo texts, including some for children, allows an exploration of her vision of childhood through nostalgia, adult-child power relationships, ageing and rejuvenation, and moments of initiation or imitation. Pizarnik is considered in relation to the myth of the child-poet, and her child personae are analysed through Breton's Surrealism, Cocteau and Paz; through her borrowings from Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Breton's Nadja; and through her obsession with madness, death, orphanhood, violation and transgression. In the final analysis, Ocampo's works achieve equilibrium between childhood and age, whereas Pizarnik's poetic crisis of exile from language parallels her deep sense of anxiety at being exiled from the world of childhood.Esta monografía explora la importancia del tema de la niñez en la obra de dos escritoras argentinas, la cuentista y poeta Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993), y la poeta Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972). Un análisis detallado de varios textos de Ocampo, incluyendo aquellos escritos específicamente para niños, permite reconstruir una visión de la niñez caracterizada por la nostalgia, las relaciones de poder entre niño y adulto, el envejecimiento y el rejuvenecimiento, y la experiencia psicológica de la iniciación o la imitación. La obra de Pizarnik se analiza en relación con el mito de la poeta-niña, y las varias proyecciones de la niña en su obra se consideran con la perspectiva ofrecida por el surrealismo de Breton, Cocteau y Paz, las alusiones literarias a Alicia en el pais de las maravillas de Carroll y Nadja de Breton, con especial interés en la obsesión de la poeta por la locura, la muerte, la orfandad, la violación y la trangresión.
