'Emilia Pardo Bazan (1851-1921) is without a doubt the most
prolific and influential woman writer of late-nineteenth-century
Spain,' write the editors of this volume. Her writings - novels,
novella, short stories, essays, plays, travel writing, cookbooks -
cover topics from science and technology to fashion and gender
equality. In a literary style characterized by brilliance, they
contend with the critical issues of her time and are compelling to
teach today. Part 1, 'Materials', provides biographical and
critical resources, an overview of Pardo Bazan's vast oeuvre, and a
literary-historical timeline. It also reviews secondary sources,
editions and translated, and digital resources. The essays in part
2, 'Approaches', explore Pardo-Bazan's engagement with contemporary
literary movements, feminism and gender, nation and the late
Spanish empire, Spanish and Galician identities, and
nineteenth-century scientific and medical discourses. Film
adaptations and translations of her works are also addressed.
Instructors of courses on world literature, nineteenth-century
literature, gender studies and Spanish-language courses will find
the volume invaluable.
