La Barcelona de Narcís Oller
La Barcelona de Narcís Oller. Realitat i somni de la ciutat vol presentar Narcís Oller com un intel·lectual del seu temps preocupat pel seu país i en especial per l'entitat de Barcelona com a capital de Catalunya i com a gran ciutat que no podia quedar enrere en el camí cap a la modernitat i el progrés. Oller s'interessa per aquesta qüestió des del moment que la capital catalana es transforma d'una ciutat provinciana que mirava Madrid en l'embrió d'una capital europea que vol emmirallar-se, preferentment, en el París urbanístic de l'Exposició Universal de 1878, que ja començava a esdevenir la gran ciutat moderna, centre neuràlgic de l'Europa finisecular.

Through the study of more than twenty novels produced in Spain from the 1840s to the 1920s, this book explores the literary means by which the social options available to modern Spanish bourgeois citizens were discursively constructed, occasionally before and often concomitantly to their production in reality. As a result, this study is concerned with the interplay of realism and reality in modern Spain.
