The purpose of this article is to introduce the Biblioteca de Autores Mexicanos (1896-1910), a collection created by Victoriano Agüeros, as a well-polished editorial project in which various cultural and literary processes of great importance can be traced: a) The specialization and consolidation of the editor’s figure, verified in the turn from the 19th to the 20th century; b) The development of incipient but effective publication, commercialization, and promotion strategies, and c) The conformation of a literary canon that gathered the written expressions of the nation in search of an identity, with a criteria that not only focused on the aesthetic and the literary, but also on ideological, economic and pragmatic notions.

Palabras llave : Victoriano Agüeros; Biblioteca de Autores Mexicanos; literary canon; editorial collection; national collections.
