Many scholars have treated Spain's philosophical loyalties as being
anchored in the Middle Ages. Aiming to debunk this
oversimplification, Soufas, Jr. examines Spanish attitudes to
modernity through key literary and artistic figures such as Don
Quijote, Don Juan, Velazquez, and Goya.

The Subject in Question presents the first systematic study of
""Spanish modernism"" in an attempt to end Spain's literary
isolation from the mainstream of early contemporary European
literature. Traditionally, Spanish literature has been approached
by the ""literary generational model,"" an ultra-nationalist
perspective that separates Spanish writing from its larger European
modernist context. C. Christopher Soufas argues against further
adherence to the generational groupings, establishing instead solid
criteria for embracing the period category of modernism as a more
appropriate model. Offering a refreshing and original approach,
Soufas studies various key works from late nineteenth- and early
twentieth-century Spain to demonstrate their important modernist
characteristics. He considers the evolution of modernism in all the
major genres beginning with novels by such authors as Pio Baroja,
Miguel de Unamuno, Ramon Maria del Valle-Inclan, Ramon Gomez de la
Serna, and Rosa Chacel; the poetry of Jorge Guillen, Vicente
Aleixandre, Luis Cernuda, and Rafael Alberti; and the theater of
Federico Garcia Lorca. Soufas maintains that the basis for
associating Spanish literature with modernism centers on modernist
attitudes toward subjectivity--that is, the modernist critique of
the autonomous thinking subject. He argues that Spain had been
engaging in a critique of the subjective model for centuries, long
before European modernists did. Therefore, modernism marks a point
of convergence and rapprochement between Spain and Europe, and
Spain makes a significant contribution to that international
movement.
Readers' Choice Award Winner Best Books About the Church from Byron
Borger, Hearts and Minds Bookstore Fast food. Fast cars. Fast and
furious. Fast forward. Fast . . . church? The church is often
idealized (or demonized) as the last bastion of a bygone era,
dragging our feet as we're pulled into new moralities and new
spiritualities. We guard our doctrine and our piety with great
vigilance. But we often fail to notice how quickly we're
capitulating, in the structures and practices of our churches, to a
culture of unreflective speed, dehumanizing efficiency and
dis-integrating isolationism. In the beginning, the church ate
together, traveled together and shared in all facets of life.
Centered as they were on Jesus, these seemingly mundane activities
took on their own significance in the mission of God. In Slow
Church, Chris Smith and John Pattison invite us to leave franchise
faith behind and enter into the ecology, economy and ethics of the
kingdom of God, where people know each other well and love one
another as Christ loved the church.
