Which were the mechanisms by which certain groups were positioned at the margins of national narratives during the nineteenth century, either via their exclusion from these narratives of through their incorporation into them as 'others'? By engaging with shifting ideas of exclusion and difference, the authors in this book reflect upon the paradoxical centrality of the subaltern at a time when literature was deployed as a tool for nation building. The lasting presence of the Jewish and Moorish legacy, the portrayal of gypsy characters, or the changing notions of femininity in public discourse exemplify the ways in which images of marginal 'types' played a central role in the configuration of the very idea of Spanishness. ?Cuales fueron los mecanismos mediante los que ciertos grupos fueron relegados a los margenes del relato nacional durante el siglo XIX, bien a traves de su exclusion de dichos relatos, bien a traves de su incorporacion a ellos como "otros"? A traves del analisis de las ideas de exclusion y diferencia, los autores de este libro reflexionan sobre la paradojica centralidad de lo marginal en una epoca en la que la literatura fue una herramienta fundamental para la construccion de la nacion. La pervivencia del legado judio y morisco, la representacion de personajes gitanos o las distintas nociones de feminidad presentes en el discurso publico ejemplifican las formas en que las imagenes de "tipos" marginales desempenaron un papel central en la configuracion de la idea de espanolidad.
