The origins of the Spanish novel date back to the early picaresque
novels and Don Quixote, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,
and the history of the genre in Spain presents the reader with such
iconic works as Galdos's Fortunata and Jacinta, Clarin's La
Regenta, or Unamuno's Mist. A History of the Spanish Novel traces
the developments of Spanish prose fiction in order to offer a
comprehensive and detailed account of this important literary
tradition. It opens with an introductory chapter that examines the
evolution of the novel in Spain, with particular attention to the
rise and emergence of the novel as a genre, during the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, and the bearing of Golden-Age fiction in
later novelists of all periods. The introduction contextualises the
Spanish novel in the circumstances and milestones of Spain's
history, and in the wider setting of European literature. The
volume is comprised of chapters presented diachronically, from the
sixteenth to the twenty-first century and others concerned with
specific traditions (the chivalric romance, the picaresque, the
modernist novel, the avant-gardist novel) and with some of the most
salient authors (Cervantes, Zayas, Galdos, and Baroja). A History
of the Spanish Novel takes the reader across the centuries to
reveal the captivating life of the Spanish novel tradition, in all
its splendour, and its phenomenal contribution to Western
literature.
