Opis

It is customary to regard gender roles and representation in nineteenth-century Spain as polarized and predictable. But in this wide-ranging discussion of women's writing and representations of gender, leading scholars from the US and UK not only examine the patriarchal emphasis of Spanish culture, but also demonstrate that this was a period in which relations between men and women were being constantly negotiated, challenged, and redefined as part of an ongoing transformation of political and national identities. The book ranges from the Romantic period to the fin de siecle and all quotations in Spanish are translated.

Recenzje

This is a ground-breaking contribution to Hispanic studies ... the pioneer status of the collection and the quality of individual contributions should ensure this volume a place on reading lists for the foreseeable future.
