Sacred Realism
In this thoughtful and compelling book, leading Spanish literature scholar Noël Valis re-examines the role of Catholicism in the modern Spanish novel. While other studies of fiction and faith have focused largely on religious themes, Sacred Realism views the religious impulse as a crisis of modernity: a fundamental catalyst in the creative and moral development of Spanish narrative.
A Further Range
The Spanish literature discussed in this volume falls into two main categories: the work of Galician novelist, short-story writer and critic, Emilia Pardo Bazan and the wider context of prose fiction and criticism during the period 1870 to 1935.
New Galdós Studies
The master of the realist novel of nineteenth-century Spain, Benito Pérez Galdós, is the subject of these new studies. The master of the realist novel of nineteenth-century Spain, Benito Pérez Galdós, is the subject of New Galdós Studies, offered in memory of John Varey, author of Galdós Studies, the foundational text for contemporary Galdosian scholarship. Eamonn Rodgers describes Galdós's early readership and reception; James Whiston illustrates Galdós's creativity in Lo prohibido; Rhian Davies explores the enrichment of the novelist's language in Torquemada en la Cruz; Teresa Fuentes Peris demonstrates Galdós's radical critique of dominant social assumptions in Fortunata y Jacinta; Alex Longhurst deals with the representation of poverty in Misericordia while Lisa Condé detects a feminist intention in Tristana; Eric Southworth finds rich cultural and spiritual allusion in the same work; Nichols Round relates the deaths of children in the Torquemada novels and Angel Guerra to end-of-century ideological concerns.
Redes del libro en España
En este libro se analizan las redes del libro en España en el mundo moderno y contemporáneo, centrando el análisis en sus agentes, nodos y medios de circulación. Los estudios abordan la geografía del libro en tránsito, la relación entre oferta y demanda en redes formales e informales, y la capacidad de los agentes para adquirir y transportar el libro, considerado como un bien de intercambio y objeto de interés para las comunidades de lectores. Las interacciones entre estos agentes permiten delimitar las posibilidades de acceso al libro en zonas como Huesca, analizando uno de los pocos libros de contabilidad conservados de una dinastía de impresores, y en el caso de Soria, dando a co...
Spatial and Temporal Dimensions for Legal History
http://dx.doi.org/10.12946/gplh6http://www.epubli.de/shop/buch/53894"The spatiotemporal conjunction is a fundamental aspect of the juridical reflection on the historicity of law. Despite the fact that it seems to represent an issue directly connected with the question of where legal history is heading today, it still has not been the object of a focused inquiry. Against this background, the book’s proposal consists in rethinking key confluences related to this problem in order to provide coordinates for a collective understanding and dialogue. The aim of this volume, however, is not to offer abstract methodological considerations, but rather to rely both on concrete studies, out of which a...
Borrowed Words
The book contends that the acceptance of translation and imitation in the literary life of a country does not imply denying the specific conditions created by political borders in the constitution of a national literature, that is, the existence of national borders framing literary life. What it does is recognize new and different frontiers that destabilize the national confines (as well as the nationalistic values) of literary history. In translation and imitation, borders are experienced not as the demarcation of otherness, but rather as crossroads in the quest for identity."--Jacket.
L'esthétique ironique de Leopoldo Alas Clarín
Cet ouvrage aspire à renouveler la lecture de l'œuvre de Leopoldo Alas Clarin à partir d'une analyse stylistique de l'intégralité de ses écrits en prose, sans perspective hiérarchique. Son objet est de montrer que l'ironie est une catégorie esthétique, et que l'esthétique clarinienne est ironique. Il fait appel aux références culturelles de l'auteur et aux échos internes à son oeuvre pour décrire son vitalisme intellectuel et explorer le phénomène d'intimité textuelle. Traditionnellement, le concept d'ironie en fait un outil au service de ta satire. Or, cette étude change de perspective, et conçoit l'ironie comme un mode de représentation. Elle est l'instrument privilégié par Clarin dans sa mise en relation des voix textuelles et des acteurs de l'échange créateur, dans un mouvement intégrateur des emprunts qui manifeste la puissance du démiurge et qui défie le lecteur à partir des failles du langage. Le style clarinien est mélange et combinaison, fragmentation et recomposition du réel sous la plume d'un esprit qui joue avec sérieux : il nourrit un réalisme complexe qui porte l'empreinte d'une subjectivité créatrice forte.

Productions du populaire

Realism as Resistance
This book explores the fluid boundaries between realism and romanticism, while considering this oscillation between discourses as the legacy of the Quijote to the nineteenth-century Spanish novel. Furthermore, there are studies of characters who act as authors in Benito Perez Galdos's first series of Episodios Nacionales, Pio Baroja's La lucha por la vida, and Leopoldo Alas (Clarin)'s La Regenta. For many realists, romanticism has negative associations: quixotism, exaggeration, impracticality, and femininity or effeminacy.
