The Spanish novel in a turbulent century. This collection of
studies by eighteen prominent theorists and critics offers a
diverse panorama of the modern Spanish novel seen through the prism
of Spain's recent political, cultural and ideological history. It
considers the development of the novel as a social mirror and as a
changing literary form, torn between the tradition of stern realism
and the aesthetics of rupture affecting all Western literature from
the Avant-Garde to the Postmodern age. While some essays emphasise
the Spanish cultural context and canonical writers, others are of a
broader nature, grouping lesser-known writers under certain
literary tendencies: the metaphysical novel, the urban novel,
recuperative accounts of the Civil War, feminine first-person
narrations, and the rise of the popular detective, historical, and
erotic novels. Three studies address the resurgence of the Catalan,
Basque and Galician novel and their departure from a poetics of
identity to one of global concerns. Interdisciplinary approaches
address the reciprocal impacts of literature and cinema, and the
effects of the marketplace on the consumption of fiction are not
forgotten. The Companion provides ample bibliographies and a
valuable chronology, while all titles and quotations are translated
into English. Contributors: Marta E. Altisent, Katarzyna Olga
