Volume exploring the important but neglected Spanish female poet
Angela Figuera Aymerich. Angela Figuera Aymerich (1902-84) remains
an obscure figure among the Spanish social poets of the Franco
regime, her work almost entirely eclipsed by male contemporaries.
This book attempts both to bring her poetry to the attention of a
wider audience and to show how her work anticipates the generation
of women writers and poets who have emerged since the coming of
democracy. Focusing primarily on a selection of poems published
between 1948 and 1962, Dr Evans shows how her work has been
mistakenly ignored as maternal in essence and so of little interest
to the poetry of social protest in general. Using feminist and
psychoanalytical theories of language to suggest that identity
(andpoetic identity in particular) is constructed as the effect of
mirror images, the author argues that the `moving reflections' of
gender, faith and aesthetics mirror Figuera's struggle with a
fragmented poetic identity; through these concepts her work can be
read not only as a `moving reflection' of maternal femininity and
social injustice, but as an active attempt to retrace the
boundaries of female identity. JO EVANS teaches in the Departmentof
Hispanic Studies, Edinburgh University.
