R866 Discovery Miles 8 660 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume brings together cutting-edge research on modern Spanish women as writers, activists, and embodiments of cultural change, and simultaneously honors Maryellen Bieder’s invaluable scholarly contribution to the field. The essays are innovative in their consideration of lesser-known women writers, focus on women as political activists, and use of post-colonialism, queer theory, and spatial theory to examine the period from the Enlightenment until World War II. The contributors study women as agents and representations of social change in a variety of genres, including short stories, novels, plays, personal letters, and journalistic pieces. Canonical authors such as Emilia Pardo Bazán, Leopoldo Alas “Clarín,” and Carmen de Burgos are considered alongside lesser known writers and activists such as María Rosa Gálvez, Sofía Tartilán, and Caterina Albert i Paradís. The critical analyses are situated within their specific socio-historical context, and shed new light on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish literature, history, and culture. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Writing Teresa - The Saint from Avila at the fin-de-siglo (Hardcover, New): Denise DuPont Writing Teresa - The Saint from Avila at the fin-de-siglo (Hardcover, New)
Denise DuPont
R2,861 Discovery Miles 28 610 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Writing Teresa: The Saint from Avila at the fin-de-siglo examines the Teresa de Jesus "boom" of roughly 1880-1930 and offers an in-depth study of five major Spanish participants in the turn-of-the-twentieth-century explosion of literary treatments of St. Teresa. This historical period's interest in the Saint from Avila relates to popularization and nationalization of aspects of Catholicism, technological advances, a modernist fascination with saintly heroes, the search for new Spanish identities, and the evolving role of women writers and intellectuals. Teresa was mysticism in its historical context, energy in a time of doubt, the possibility of reconciling science and spirituality, a new vision for writing, and a maternal figure linked to the religion of the past for those who had lost the faith of their childhood.

Realism as Resistance - Romanticism and Authorship in Galdos, Clarin, and Baroja (Hardcover): Denise DuPont Realism as Resistance - Romanticism and Authorship in Galdos, Clarin, and Baroja (Hardcover)
Denise DuPont
R2,154 Discovery Miles 21 540 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book explores the fluid boundaries between realism and romanticism, while considering this oscillation between discourses as the legacy of the Quijote to the nineteenth-century Spanish novel. Furthermore, there are studies of characters who act as authors in Benito Perez Gald&#243s's first series of Episodios nacionales, Pio Baroja's La lucha por la vida, and Leopoldo Alas Clarin's La Regenta. For many realists, romanticism has negative associations: quixoticism, exaggeration, impracticality, and femininity or effeminacy. The book's conclusion suggests that the external authors, who wrote these novels about quixotic author-characters' lingering romanticism, imagine themselves as Cervantes figures: they draw on the power of romanticism within their texts, but protect themselves from romanticism's 'dangerous' links to the feminine and irrationality by recalling their male mentor. This study, then, situates itself in the critical tradition that has articulated the porosity of the terms romanticism and realism - the indissoluble marriage of the Hispanic nineteenth century.
