This growth of so-called memory studies in literary scholarship has focused on the representation of memory and trauma in contemporary narratives dealing with the Civil War and ensuing dictatorship. In contrast, the novel of the postwar period has received relatively little critical attention of late, despite the fact that...

At the heart of this book are explorations of the contradictions that appear in different forms of cultural memory: literary...

Spain, Portugal and the Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe
ISBN: 9781409454953 / Twarda / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As seen from the perspective of 1492, the medieval expansion of Latin Europe was nowhere as dramatic or enduring as in the Iberian Peninsula and the Atlantic.

Castile and Portugal also transformed the Atlantic Ocean from the inaccessible dead-end of Eurasia into the most promising avenue for European expansion for the first time in history. The articles collected in this volume explore the causes...
