Carmen de Burgos (1867-1932), an influential journalist,
socio-political activist, and a key literary figure in the cultural
ferment of pre-war Madrid, is currently being rediscovered, having
languished in a long and regrettable oblivion during the Franco
years. This scholarly edition of three stories by de Burgos
includes the unabridged texts, vocabulary, notes, chronology,
bibliography, 'temas de debate y discusion', and a critical
introduction. Confidencias is the fictional diary of a young woman,
describing her first adulterous relationship and exploiting the
narratological possibilities of the diary form. La mujer fria is a
vampire story featuring perhaps the very first pitiable vampire, or
at least one of the earliest examples of this type, whilst
ingeniously maintaining undecidability as to whether the
protagonist is supernatural. Punal de claveles narrates a
wedding-day elopement. Inspired by the real-life 'Crimen de Nijar',
Federico Garcia Lorca drew on both stories for his Bodas de sangre.
