This book explores a key historical moment for literary and cultural relations between Spain and Portugal. Focusing on the period between 1870 and 1930, it analyses the contacts between Portuguese and Spanish writers and artists of this period, showing that, at least among the cultural elites, there were intense and fruitful dialogues across political and linguistic borders. The book presents the Iberian Peninsula as a complex and multilingual cultural polysystem in which diverse literary cultures coexist and are mutually dependent upon each other. It offers a panoramic view of Iberian literary and cultural history, encompassing not just Portuguese and Spanish literary productions, but also Catalan, Galician and Basque works. Combining a clear theoretical foundation with deep historical knowledge and references to specific texts and works, the book offers a thorough introduction to Iberian literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Literaturas entrelazadas. Portugal y Espana, del modernismo y la vanguardia al tiempo de las dictaduras estudia las estrechas relaciones entre las literaturas portuguesa y espanola desde finales del siglo XIX hasta mediados del XX. La perspectiva utilizada se ilumina en el concepto de la Entangled History, adaptada al ambito de la literatura comparada por medio del analisis de los espacios de relacion entre ambas literaturas. Asi, estas paginas conceden un lugar privilegiado a las dependencias, interferencias y transferencias entre las letras de ambos paises, condicionadas en su historia entrelazada por las relaciones de poder y las tensiones que originan los heterogeneos vinculos entre ideologia y literatura.
