First published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
This volume address the role of literature in the formation of
cultural notions of 'state, ' 'nation, ' 'subject, ' and 'citizen'
in Spain from the Renaissance to the Romantic period. It brings
together literary scholars and historians of the Golden Age and the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in a dialog framed by the rise
and dissolution of the Absolutist state.
Individual essays attempt to understand relationships between
subjectivity and the state in Spain from the earliest articulations
of the "subject" to the consolidation of an array of bourgeois
subjectivities. The major argument running throughout the volume is
that "literary discourse," from the time it emerges in the
sixteenth century to the time it coheres within a wholly modern
concept of the "aesthetic," actively develops forms of subjectivity
in relation to institutions of class power. The intention of the
volume is to clarify central problems regarding the emergence and
function of literature across distinct modes of production, state
formations, and hegemonic cultures. This book keeps open a debate
on the long process through which literature and the aesthetic come
to be constituted as a complex arena in which-sometimes directly,
more often indirectly-the struggle for state power unfolds.

The son of former slaves, Paul Laurence Dunbar was one of the most
prominent figures in American literature at the turn of the
twentieth century. Thirty-three years old at the time of his death
in 1906, he had published four novels, four collections of short
stories, and fourteen books of poetry, as well as numerous songs,
plays, and essays in newspapers and magazines around the world. In
the century following his death, Dunbar slipped into relative
obscurity, remembered mainly for his dialect poetry or as a
footnote to other more canonical figures of the period. The
Complete Stories of Paul Laurence Dunbar showcases his gifts as a
writer of short fiction and provides key insights into the tensions
and themes of Dunbar's literary achievement. The 104 stories
written by Dunbar between 1890 and 1905 reveal Dunbar's attempts to
maintain his artistic integrity while struggling with America's
racist stereotypes. Making them available for the first time in one
convenient, comprehensive, and definitive volume, The Complete
Stories of Paul Laurence Dunbar illustrates the complexity of his
literary life and legacy.
