The poem received its canonization during a series of lectures by Leopoldo Lugones in 1913 ( published as El payador in 1916 ), where the great Argentine poet crowned the Martín Fierro the epic of Argentina, comparable to Dante's Divine Comedy for Italy or Cervantes's Don Quixote for Spain.

Because Martín Fierro has been widely considered ( beginning with Leopoldo Lugones's El Payador, 1916 ) the fountainhead or pinnacle of Argentine literature, Argentina's Don Quixote or Divine Comedy, and because Borges was certainly Argentina's greatest twentieth-century writer, Borges's 1953 book of essays about the poem and its critical and popular reception-El " Martín Fierro " ( written with Margarita Guerrero )-gives insight into Borges's identity as an Argentine.

Borges sees Lugones in El Payador ( 1916 ) as operating in an explicitly nationalist tradition, seeking a national epic to take the role of Don Quixote or the Divine Comedy and render the Argentines a " people of the book ", in a nationalist reflection of religious identity.
