Ramón del Valle-Inclán
Ahogada su personalidad en un anecdotario, tan falso como absurdo, que desfiguró desde su nombre y apellidos hasta los últimos momentos de su agonía. Fantasías que se tomaron por verdades y certezas despreciadas por contradecir la imagen creada a base de cuentos y chascarrillos. Sin duda, esa mixtificación fue, en parte, fomentada y propalada por él mismo. Fantasioso, decidor, conferenciante admirado, amante y preocupado padre de su prole, generalmente editor de sus obras buscando nuevos diseños del libro. Muy reservado y celoso guardián de su intimidad que en entrevistas miente sin recato sobre su vida y afanes personales. Católico aunque escasamente ortodoxo por su admiración al herético Miguel de Molinos. Carlista y místico, consumidor de hachís, altamente sociable, buena parte de su vida transcurrió en tertulias; prolífico autor empecinado en innovar lenguaje y modos teatrales al margen de los gustos del público. «¿Cómo será la literatura del año 2000?» —le preguntó un periodista en 1932—. «No lo sé —respondió—, si no ya la estaría haciendo». Permítanme presentarles a don Ramón del Valle-Inclán.

La poética quietista de Valle-Inclán
Durante la década de 1907 a 1917 tuvo lugar un periodo de crisis existencial y literaria en la trayectoria de Valle-Inclán. En este tiempo comienza a poner por escrito en la prensa sus teorías estéticas, textos en los que se revela consciente de un cambio ligado a la inquietud por la mortalidad, donde cobran cuerpo los presupuestos de un arte perdurable y no mimético, y que culminan en la publicación de su tratado de estética ‘La lámpara maravillosa. Ejercicios espirituales’ (1916), de los poemas de ‘El pasajero’ y del experimento narrativo ‘La medianoche. Visión estelar de un momento de guerra’ (1917). La poética que Valle-Inclán desarrolla en estos libros, el quietis...
Multilingualism and Modernity
This book explores multilingualism as an imaginative articulation of the experience of modernity in twentieth-century Spanish and American literature. It argues that while individual multilingual practices are highly singular, literary multilingualism exceeds the conventional bounds of modernism to become emblematic of the modern age. The book explores the confluence of multilingualism and modernity in the theme of barbarism, examining the significance of this theme to the relationship between language and modernity in the Spanish-speaking world, and the work of five authors in particular. These authors – Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Ernest Hemingway, José María Arguedas, Jorge Semprún and Juan Goytisolo – explore the stylistic and conceptual potential of the interaction between languages, including Spanish, French, English, Galician, Quechua and Arabic, their work reflecting the eclecticism of literary multilingualism while revealing its significance as a mode of response to modernity.
Equestrian Rebels
Mariano Azuela (Mexico, 1873–1952) was a medical doctor by profession, recipient of Mexico’s Premio Nacional de Literatura (1949), a distinguished member of El Colegio Nacional and, by mid-century, one of Mexico’s leading novelists and literary critics. The author of novels, novellas, plays, biographies, and literary criticism, Azuela served as field doctor under Francisco Villa during the Mexican Revolution and, after Villa’s military defeats in 1915, published Los de abajo (The Underdogs, 1915) while in exile in El Paso, Texas. This book of essays commemorates the first centenary of Los de abajo, and traces its impact on twentieth-century autobiographies, memoirs and, more specific...
Madrid's Forgotten Avant-Garde
This book explores the role played by artists and intellectuals who constructed and disseminated various competing images of national identity which polarized Spanish society prior to the Civil War. The convergence of modern and essentialist discourses and practices, especially in literature and poetry, in what is conventionally called in Spanish letters "The Generation of '27", created fissures between competing views of aesthetics and ideology that cut across political affiliation. Silvina Schammah exposes the paradoxes facing Madrid's cultural vanguards, as they were torn by their ambition for universality, cosmopolitanism and transcendence on the one hand and by the centripetal forces of nationalistic ideologies on the other. Taking upon themselves roles to become the disseminators and populizers of radical positions and world-views first elaborated and conducted by the young urban intelligentsia, their proposed aim of incorporating diverse identities embedded in different cultural constructions and discourse was to have very real and tragic consequences as political and intellectual lines polarized in the years prior to the Spanish Civil War.
