Women in the History of Linguistics

The chapters explore a variety of spheres of activity, from the production of dictionaries and grammars to language teaching methods and language policy.
Striking Their Modern Pose
The importance of fashion in the construction and representation of gender and the formation of modern society in nineteenth-century Spanish narrative is the focus of Dorota Heneghan's Striking Their Modern Pose. The study moves beyond traditional interpretations that equate female passion for finery with symptoms of social ambition and the decline of the Spanish nation, and brings to light the manners in which nineteenth-century Spanish novelists drew attention to the connection between the complexities of fashionable female protagonists and the shifting limits of conventional womanhood to address the need to reformulate customary ideals of gender as a necessary condition for Spain to advan...
Beyond Books and Borders
La Florida del Inca (Lisbon, 1605) is a key text in the history and culture of the Americas. In this chronicle, its author, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, born in Cuzco, the son of an Inca princess and a Spanish conquistador, offers a unique representation of Hernando de Soto's expedition (1539-43) to the vast territory then known as La Florida. The studies collected here analyze the period of early contact in La Florida, study the chronicle of the Cuzcan writer and the works that influenced it, with the objective of affirming its central place in colonial, cultural, and transatlantic studies and its importance in understanding the intertwined history of the Americas. An introduction, a chronology, a general bibliography, and fifty-six images offer a frame for these sections. The various essays are written in a direct manner, and are free of jargon with the aim of attracting both general and academic readers. Raquel Chang-Rodriguez is Distinguished Professor of Hispanic Literature and Culture at the City University of New York.

"Writers, publishers, readers and scholars have stopped apologising for the short story: the genre is no longer a bad investment, a trial-exercise for a novel or a minor entertainment, as demonstrated by exceptional writers with an almost exclusive dedication to it, such as Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Munro, Quim Monzâo or Cristina Fernâandez Cubas. With deep roots in classic and medieval literatures, and great achievements in the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries, the genre of the short story, which benefits from the linguistic tightness of poetry and the narrative comforts of the novel, has finally been recognised as having a (hybrid) identity of its own. This volume re-edits and expands ...
Tejiendo recuerdos de la España de ayer
Nueve mujeres comparten experiencias y recuerdos de la postguerra española. Sus relatos, heterogéneos, no excluyentes, construidos dentro, a través y a pesar de la masculinidad omnipresente en la dictadura franquista, son una vívida memoria femenina en la que no faltan ejemplos concretos del monolítico discurso histórico sobre la mujer en el franquismo. Cabe alegar la excepcionalidad de sus biografías, ya que se trata de mujeres que tuvieron acceso a la formación universitaria, hecho poco común en su tiempo, y que, en la actualidad, la mayoría de ellas desempeña tareas docentes universitarias.
