Imagined Truths provides a twenty-first-century analysis of
stylistic and philosophical manifestations of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century Spanish literary realism. Bringing together the
work of the foremost specialists in the field of contemporary
Spanish letters, this collection offers new approaches to literary
and cultural criticism and reveals how Spanish realism, far from
imitative of other European movements, engaged in complex and
modern concepts of representation and mimesis. Imagined Truths
acknowledges the critical importance of women writers and
contemporary approaches to questions of gender. The essays address
the impact of economics on our perceptions of reality and our
constructions of everyday life, and they argue for the importance
of emotions in the social construction of individual identity. Most
importantly, the essays acknowledge the post-imperial turn in
literary studies. Addressing a broad range of authors, works, and
topics, including the continued relevance of Cervantes's Don
Quijote and the way Spanish realism moved beyond narrative to
inhabit the spaces of both theatre and film, Imagined Truths
comprises a series of meditations on new ways of understanding the
unique place of realism in Spanish cultural history. Offering
insights for specialists in a wide range of disciplines -
literature, cultural studies, gender studies, history, philosophy -
this collection is equally important for readers just becoming
acquainted with realist narrative as a central component of Spanish
literary history.
