Ricardo Palma's Tradiciones is the first full-length account of
Ricardo Palma informed by theories of cultural criticism. Elisa
Sampson Vera Tudela sheds new light on important aspects of Palma's
work. She offers a fresh interpretation of the relations between
history and literature - perhaps the most discussed aspect of
Palma's work - engaging with new critical thinking on historicism
and examining the significance of the marginal and the anecdotal in
Palma's work. By using the tools of postcolonial cultural
criticism, Vera Tudela considers Palma's encounter with modernity,
arguing that his recuperation of colonial history plays a crucial
part in imagining the modern future. Most innovatively, Vera Tudela
examines the multiple and contradictory notions of femininity in
nineteenth-century Latin America and in Palma's writing, showing
how a historical consideration of the sexual politics of cultural
production transforms our understanding of many of the assumptions
about this period. Finally, by applying the insights of cultural
geography in analysing the racial, sexual and political identity of
domestic, urban and national space in Palma's writing, Vera Tudela
demonstrates that Palma's literary maps and topographies are
uniquely revelatory of questions of power and agency. In its
exploration of sexual politics and nationhood, Ricardo Palma's
Tradiciones presents Palma as a proto-modernist who paved the way
for many of the experiments of twentieth-century Latin American
narrative fiction.
