"Figures of Exile is an excellent volume of essays carefully curated by Daniela Omlor and Eduardo Tasis that pays a long overdue homage to the late Nigel Dennis, one of the most important Hispanists of his generation. It does so brilliantly by bringing together a group of talented international scholars - the majority of whom can be considered as Professor Dennis's disciples - who each offer original and illuminating perspectives on a variety of topics and authors related to the Spanish Republican exile, a field for which Nigel Dennis was an inescapable point of reference." (Javier Letran, University of St Andrews) Figures of Exile contributes to the ongoing dialogue in the field of exile studies and aims to refamiliarise a wider readership with the Spanish exile of 1939. It provides new perspectives on the work of canonical figures of this exile, such as Rafael Alberti, Luis Cernuda, Jose Bergamin, Pedro Salinas, Francisco Ayala, Emilio Prados, Federico Garcia Lorca or Maria Zambrano, and brings to the fore the work of less-studied figures like Jose Diaz Fernandez, Juan David Garcia Baca, Ernesto Guerra da Cal, Nuria Pares, Maria Luisa Elio, Maria Teresa Leon and Tomas Segovia. Rather than being disparate, this broad scope, which ranges from first generation to second generation exiles, from Galicia to Andalusia, from philosophers to poets, is testament to the wide-ranging impact of the Spanish Republican exile.
