Surveys the thought and literary work of a towering figure in
twentieth-century Spanish cultural and political life. As a
novelist, dramatist, essayist, poet and public intellectual, Miguel
de Unamuno (1864-1936) was a strikingly energetic and prolific
writer, and a towering figure in twentieth-century Spanish cultural
and political life. His work explored fundamental questions about
existence and identity (both individual and national).Widely
recognised and translated during his lifetime, he was an
inescapably canonical figure on university syllabi across Europe
and the Americas for many years after his death, and still appears
on many curricula. In this Companion, a range of distinguished
scholars with very different approaches both survey Unamuno's work
chronologically, analysing major developments and turning points or
breaks as well as continuities, and further study key themes and
preoccupations across his prolific narrative, theatrical and essay
output. All contributors offer not just incisive discussion of the
texts or topics studied, but also a balanced overview of issues and
debates arising in Unamuno studies. Julia Biggane is senior
lecturer in Hispanic Studies at the University of Aberdeen. She is
a general editor of theBulletin of Spanish Studies, and director of
the Sir Herbert Grierson Centre for Textual Criticism and
Comparative Literary History at the University of Aberdeen. John
Macklin was Professor of Hispanic Studies and Head of the School of
Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Glasgow. In
1994, he was made a Commander of the Order of Isabel la Catolica by
King Juan Carlos of Spain.
