ISBN: 9781855661332 / Hiszpański / Twarda / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. La obra poetica de Lope de Vega se diferencia del resto de la produccion del Siglo de Oro por una insistente singularidad: escenas y figuras de la vida del autor aparecen frecuentemente en sus poemas. La critica y el publico general ha respondido a esta caracteristica desde una perspectiva post-romantica, considerando que Lope escribio con sinceridad e inspiracion biografica, impulsado por su apasionada vida personal. En este libro se analiza lo que los post-romanticos consideran -sinceridad- como un recurso literario. Lope consigue una apariencia de sinceridad pero, de hecho, reaccionaba a...

The Mester de Clerecía: Intellectuals and Ideologies in Thirteenth-Century Castile
ISBN: 9781855661356 / Hiszpański / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the thirteenth century, profound changes in Spanish society drove the invention of fresh poetic forms by the new clerical class. The term mester de clerecia (clerical ministry or service) applies to a group of narrative poems (epics, hagiography, romances) composed by university-trained clerics for the edification and entertainment of the predominantly illiterate laity. These clerics, like Gonzalo de Berceo, understood themselves as cultural intermediaries, transmitting wisdom and values from the past; at the same time, they were deeply involved in some of the most contentious and...

ISBN: 9781855661448 / Angielski / Twarda / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The legends of the holy harlots, Thais and Pelagia, are two of the most controversial accounts of female sanctity to have circulated in Spain during the Middle Ages.

A Companion to Latin American Literature offers a lively and informative introduction to the most significant literary works produced in Latin America from the fifteenth century until the present day.

La Inquisición Española Como Tema Literario: Política, Historia Y Ficción En La Crisis del Antiguo Régimen

A pesar de que nuestro conocimiento cientifico sobre el Santo Oficio es cada vez mas completo, la mera referencia a la Inquisicion espanola trae a la mente una serie de connotaciones e imagenes que le deben mas al arte, la literatura y la polemica politica que a la historiografia.

In this timely new study, Catherine Davies provides a critical analysis of post-Franco Spain's most successful women novelists. Delving first into the development of feminism and women's writing and its critical reception in Spain since 1970, the author then focuses on two of the most popular and influential feminist novelists: Barcelona's Montserrat Roig (1946-1991) and Madrid's Rosa Montero (b. 1951). These writers' works share woman-centered themes such as family relationships, the search for self-fulfillment in a restrictive society, and the hope for the construction of a new world...

Transatlantic Translations: Dialogues in Latin American Literature
ISBN: 9781861892874 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Christened the New World, Latin America represented a new beginning for Spanish colonists. In fact, the discovery of Latin America was only part of a continuing, worldwide search for new resources: fertile land, precious metals, and slave labor. Nevertheless, this idealized image of Latin America continues to dominate interpretations of natives, who are transformed into marginalized, romanticized figures, either unusually wise or wildly heroic.

Assuming the Light: The Parisian Literary Apprenticeship of Miguel Angel Asturias
ISBN: 9781900755191 / Angielski / Miękka / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Miguel Angel Asturias (1899-1974), the first Spanish-American prose writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, is both a pivotal and a representative figure in the development of the twentieth-century Spanish-American novel. His literary apprenyiceship in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s is arguably the most crucial and the least understood period of his career. In forging his definitions of Guatemalan cultural identity and Spanish-American modernity from a French vantage point, he made literary innovations and generated cultural paradoxes which have proved central tosubsequent...

Teresa of Avila's Autobiography : Authority, Power and the Self in Mid-sixteenth Century Spain
ISBN: 9781900755962 / Angielski / Miękka / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Spanish mystic Teresa of Avila (1515-82), author of one of the most acclaimed early modern autobiographies ( Vida, 1565), has generated a wealth of literary, historical and theological studies, yet none to date has examined the impact of textual models on Teresa's self-construction. In looking at the issue of the self, Carrera draws on revisions of the hermeneutic process (Ricoeur) and on analyses of the connections between discourse, power and the subject (Foucault), and applies a valuable historical perspective. Through a close reading of contemporary Spanish devotional books and...

ISBN: 9781904350927 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study demonstrates the previously unrecognised significance of discourses of saintliness for constructions of gender and national identity in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Spanish culture.

The author challenges the conventional distinction between anti-clerical and spiritual novels by these...

The Censorship Files: Latin American Writers and Franco's Spain
ISBN: 9780791469866 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Drawing on extensive research in the Spanish National Archive, Alejandro Herrero-Olaizola examines the role played by the censorship apparatus of Franco's Spain in bringing about the Latin American literary Boom of the 1960s and 1970s. He reveals the negotiations and behind-the-scenes maneuvering among those involved in the Spanish publishing industry. Converging interests made strange bedfellows of the often left-wing authors and the staid officials appointed to stand guard over Francoist morality and to defend the supposed purity of Castilian Spanish. Between these two uneasily allied...
