<blockquote>„Malkiel positioned Bello as barely a philological precursor in the Americas, and when it was time to place Chile within the panorama of philological historiography, he pointed out that the philological ,founding fathers‘ of the new republic were two German-trained émigrés who had arrived in Santiago in 1889, almost twenty-five years after Bello’s death. Malkiel also credited these two ,founding fathers‘ – Rudolf Lenz (1863-1938) and Friedrich Hanssen (1857-1919) – with transforming a barren Santiago into a ,citadel of Spanish philology‘. The telling facet of this nomination is that Chile was the country of Bello’s second and last exile, where he spent thirty-six years of his life from 1829 until his death in 1865, and thus the decision to choose Hanssen and Lenz is concomitantly a decision against placing the Venezuelan in a coveted foundational position“ (Altschul, 2012, 32).
