Memory, War, and Dictatorship in Recent Spanish Fiction by Women
analyzes five novels by women writers that present women's
experiences during and after the Spanish Civil War and Franco
dictatorship, highlighting the struggles of female protagonists of
different ages to confront an unresolved individual and collective
past. It discusses the different narrative models and strategies
used in these works and the ways in which they engage with their
political and historical context, particularly in the light of
campaigns for the so-called recovery of historical memory in Spain
(the "memory boom") and in the broader context of memory and trauma
studies. The novels that are examined in this book are Dulce
Chacon's La voz dormida (2002), Rosa Regas's Luna lunera (1999),
Josefina Aldecoa's La fuerza del destino (1997), Carme Riera's La
mitad del alma (2005), and Almudena Grandes's El corazon helado
(2007). These works all highlight the multiple nature of memories
and histories and demonstrate the complex ways in which the past
impacts on the present. This book also considers the extent to
which the memories represented in these five novels are inflected
by gender and informed by the gender politics of twentieth-century
and contemporary Spain.
