The fantastic has been and is particularly prolific in Hispanic
countries during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, largely
due to the legacy of short story writers as well as the
Latin-American boom that presented alternatives to the model of
literary realism. While these writers' works have done much to
establish the Hispanic fantastic in the international literary
canon, women authors from Spain and Latin America are not always
acknowledged, and their work is less well known to readers. The aim
of this critical anthology is to render Hispanic female writers of
the fantastic visible, to publish a representative selection of
their work, and to make it accessible to English-speaking readers.
Five short stories are presented by five key authors. They attest
to the richness and diversity of fantastic fiction in the Spanish
language, and extend from the early twentieth to the twenty-first
century, covering a range of nationalities, cultural references and
language specificities from Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico and
Argentina.
