This new history extends Modern Spanish literature into the late twentieth century and explores imaginative writings often ignored outside Spain. Extensive treatments of famous names are balanced by discussions of non-canonical and non-literary work. Thematic rather than chronological, the book places its texts in a variety of social, imaginary, and intellectual contexts.
