Bilingual Legacies examines fatherhood in the work of four
canonical Spanish authors born in Barcelona and raised during the
dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Drawing on the autobiographical
texts of Juan Goytisolo, Carlos Barral, Terenci Moix, and Clara
Janes, the book explores how these authors understood gender roles
and paternal figures as well as how they positioned themselves in
relation to Spanish and Catalan literary traditions. Anna Casas
Aguilar contends that through their presentation of father figures,
these authors subvert static ideas surrounding fatherhood. She
argues that this diversity was crucial in opening the door to
revised gender models in Spain during the democratic period. Moving
beyond the shadow of the dictator, Casas Aguilar shows how these
writers distinguished between the patriarchal "father of the
nation" and their own paternal figures. In doing so, Bilingual
Legacies sheds light on the complexity of Spanish conceptions of
gender, language, and family and illustrates how notions of
masculinity, authorship, and canon are interrelated.
