Spanish Poetry of the Twentieth Century
Twentieth-century Spanish poetry has received comparatively little attention from critics writing in English. Andrew Debicki now presents the first English-language history published in the United States to examine the sweep of modern Spanish verse. More important, he is the first to situate Spanish poetry in the context of European modernity, to trace its trajectory from the symbolists to the postmodernists. Avoiding the rigid generational schemes and catalogs of names found in traditional Hispanic literary histories, Debicki offers detailed discussions of salient books and texts to construct an original and compelling view of his subject. He demonstrates that contemporary Spanish verse is ...
A New History of Spanish Writing, 1939 to the 1990s
A New History of Spanish Writing, 1939 to the 1990s explores the diversity of some sixty years of imaginative writing by Spaniards, its interactions with Spain's peculiarly dramatic history since the end of its Civil War, and its wider thematic significance. It covers the famous and canonical texts of the most recent in Modern Spanish literature but also explores areas less well-known outside Spain (essays and editorials, queer narrative, new poetry, comics, and texts of the militant and reactionary Right). More space than is usual in literary histories is allowed for commentary on famous texts, but the book also makes room for the marginalized and for socially contextualized explorations of the interconnectedness of various forms of writing. The overall structure is not chronological but thematic, dealing with abstract and topical issues such as silence, the family, or realism.

Recycling Culture(s)
Culture survives today by means of a constant recycling, optimistically trying to overcome its own decadence in the 21st century. Recycling Culture(s) addresses from a variety of perspectives this strategy, analyzing not only a wide range of texts but also of cultural practices. As the volume shows, culture thrives on a permanent state of flux, borrowing materials for its own survival wherever they are found and always favouring hybridity. This refers not only to how texts cross genre and medium boundaries but also to how identities and the very idea of culture grow out of recycling what is at hand both synchronically and diachronically. Divided in two sections, ‘Part I: Recycling the Book...

El retrato literario en el mundo hispánico (siglos XIX-XXI)
Este libro propone un acercamiento a la escritura retratística y al retrato en otras artes en el mundo hispánico entre los siglos xix y xxi. Los ensayos son exploraciones sobre diferentes muestras del retrato y se ofrecen como un acicate para el análisis de este inmenso caudal literario, analizando casos concretos y mostrando sus múltiples posibilidades de lectura. Parte de una pesquisa en la tradición clásica en la que se enraíza y continúa evidenciando su carácter interdisciplinar. Se resalta su vigencia actual como herramienta para interrogar a la realidad y especialmente para tantear la impermanencia del ser humano representado.
Espadaña y las vanguardias
Espadaña y las vanguardias continúa la serie iniciada en 1995 con el estudio sobre Escorial y la "Juventud Creadora". La reflexión teórica y crítica de que fue objeto la vanguardia durante los años cuarenta vuelve a ocupar un lugar de primer orden. Por otra parte, el protagonismo de la revista Espadaña en este período es un hecho indiscutible. En ella se dió cita un amplísimo abanico de posibilidades: desde el debate garcilasismo / neorromanticismo, el ensayo de síntesis que supuso la llamada "poesía total" o las polémicas que abrieron paso a la poesía social. Por eso, su análisis se convierte en una aventura apsionante, que nos pone en el punto de partida para la comprensión de gran parte de nuestra poesía contemporánea.
