Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth
In Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth: From Miguel de Unamuno to La Joven Literatura, Leslie J. Harkema analyzes the literature of the modernist period in Spain in light of the emergence of youth culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Harkema argues for the prominent role played by Miguel de Unamuno--as a poet, essayist, and public figure--in Spanish writers' response to this phenomenon. She demonstrates how early twentieth-century Spanish literature participated in the glorification of adolescence and questioning of Bildung seen elsewhere in European modernism, in ways that were not only aesthetic but also political. Harkema critically re-examines the relationship between Unamuno and several Spanish writers associated with the so-called Generation of 1927 (known as at the time as "la joven literatura" or "the young literature"). By situating this period within the wider framework of European modernism, Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth brings to light the central role that the early twentieth century's re-imagining of adolescence and youth played in the development of literary modernism in Spain.

Translating New York
Drawing from several genres, Translating New York recovers cultural narratives occluded by single linguistic or national literary histories, and proposes that reading these texts through the lens of translation unveils new pathways of cultural circulation and influence. Galasso argues that contact with New York ignited a heightened sensitivity towards language, garnering literary achievement and aesthetic innovation.
La recepción crítica de la obra de Francisco Villaespesa
A pesar de la repercusión que tuvo Francisco Villaespesa durante la ebullición modernista y años posteriores, así como de la relevancia que alcanzó en tierras latinoamericanas, no parece que haya servido para que el nombre de Villaespesa sea lo suficientemente recordado. Confiamos en que estudiar la recepción crítica de su obra literaria hasta el presente, nos lleve a conocer no sólo la aceptación que tuvo en su día sino de qué manera ha evolucionado la consideración de Villaespesa a lo largo del siglo XX, hasta nuestros días. Pese a que Francisco Villaespesa es un autor destacado del modernismo español, su obra no ha sido debidamente estudiada. El análisis de la recepción crítica de la obra de Villaespesa nos ayudará a dilucidar cuáles han sido las causas que motivaron en algunos momentos el olvido de este escritor, y cuáles han sido las claves de la recuperación de su figura que se inicia en los años setenta y culmina con los estudios producidos ya en el nuevo milenio.
