The topics covered by this pioneering collection of essays range
from peninsular Spanish to Latin American literature, from the
eleventh to the twentieth centuries, and from the subject of women
as portrayed in Hispanic literature to the literature of Hispanic
women writers. Some pieces present polemical feminist arguments,
other are more traditional. All the contributors use their subject
to take new stands on old controversies, ask new questions, and
reevaluate important aspects of Hispanic literature. While there is
ample evidence in these essays of the dual archetype in Hispanic
literature of women as icon and woman as fallen idol, the
collection reaches beyond these stereotypes to more complex
sociological and theoretical concerns. Although such research has
ben abundantly pursued by scholars of English and American
literature, it has been notably absent from Hispanic studies. This
anthology is a comprehensive introduction to its subject and a
stimulus to further work in the area. Contributors: Fernando
