The late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish literature discussed in this volume falls into two main categories: the work of the Galician novelist, short-story writer and critic, Emilia Pardo Bazan, and the wider context of prose fiction and criticism during the period 1870 to 1935.

"Extraordinary vision . . . his prose is suffused with striking images."--The Washington Post "To read Mia Couto is to encounter a peculiarly African sensibility, a writer of fluid, fragmentary narratives . . . remarkable."--The New Statesman With a magical realism that blurs the boundaries between life and the afterlife in Mozambique, Mia Couto captures Africa today--a brilliant dissonance of old and new sounds.

Discourses of Empire: Counter-Epic Literature in Early Modern Spain
ISBN: 9780271027944 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The counter-epic is a literary style that developed in reaction to imperialist epic conventions as a means of scrutinizing the consequences of foreign conquest of dominated peoples. It also functioned as a transitional literary form, a bridge between epic narratives of military heroics and novelistic narratives of commercial success. In Discourses of Empire, Barbara Simerka examines the representation of militant Christian imperialism in early modern Spanish literature by focusing on this counter-epic discourse. Simerka is drawn to literary texts that questioned or...

Los Enganos De UN Engano Y Confusion De UN Papel
ISBN: 9781934768105 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Agustin Moreto (1618-1669) was one of the most acclaimed playwrights of the Spanish Golden Age, his fame equaling that of authors such as Calderon de la Barca, Tirso de Molina and Lope de Vega. However, and in spite of the appreciation modern critics have expressed for his work, only two of Moreto's famous plays -"El lindo don Diego" and "El desden, con el desden"- are available in modern editions. The present volume is a critical edition of "Los enganos de un engano," one of many Golden Age comedies left unpublished for many years until now. It is a supremely conventional play, featuring...

Jorge Semprún: Writing the European Other
ISBN: 9781907747007 / Angielski / Twarda / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Spanish Communist exile and Francophone Holocaust writer Jorge SemprUn (1923-) is a major contributor to contemporary debates on the politics and ethics of remembering the Franco era, Communism and the Holocaust in French, Spanish and broader European contexts. His sophisticated literary testimonies have become landmark texts not least for their commitment to represent the lived experience of history. In this first detailed study in English of Jorge SemprUn's writing, Ursula Tidd shows how SemprUn explores the parameters of self-writing as an address to the other in a richly intertextual...

Ausiàs March: Verse Translations of Thirty Poems
ISBN: 9781855661301 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Valencian Ausias March (1400-1459) was one of the greatest poets writing in Europe in the fifteenth century. His work is characterized by a powerful and unique voice and by the constant innovation that allowed him not only to develop traditional genres, but to compose poems that virtually created genres of their own. This selection includes poems on love, a cycle of six compositions on grief, a long poem on God and predestination, others of praise and vilification, or on philosophical themes. While March has previously been translated into English prose, this anthology offers translations...

ISBN: 9781855661806 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Studies on Women's Poetry of the Golden Age: Tras El Espejo La Musa Escribe
ISBN: 9781855661820 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of fourteen scholarly essays on women's poetry from Spain's early modern period shows that women did indeed have a Golden Age, and that they were significant cultural actors in the realms of poetic production. The studies of secular verse demonstrate how female poets of this period devised strategies to confront the dominant masculine poetic discourse, while the essays on sacred poetry explore the multiple manifestations of female piety and mysticism. The women's words are brought to life and modern readers helped to understand the socio-cultural, interpersonal, and aesthetic...

The desire to see afresh, to see differently, both old and not-so-old texts underlies Visions and Revisions: Women's Narrative in Twentieth-Century Spain. The authors studied, born between 1867 and l966, evince an interest in one or more of the issues that structure and give unity to this book: the construction of the self, concepts of gender and nation, center and margin, and efforts to recover and/or reconstruct the past, both individual and collective. In addition to focusing on questions that are currently of great critical interest, the volume features both Castilian and Catalan...

Reading Performance: Spanish Golden-Age Theatre and Shakespeare on the Modern Stage
ISBN: 9781855661813 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Oscar Wilde once observed that it is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors'. This thought is borne out in this volume, which brings together two different and often mutually exclusive constituencies: the academic critic and the theatre practitioner. In looking at the ways in which theatre is a barometer of society, the essays in this book form part of a larger theoretical inquiry into performance as interpretation, contingent upon the cultural context. Engaging with theoretical approaches to culture, and theoreticians from Elam to Brook, and from Derrida to Bakhtin, the author...

Manuscript Diversity, Meaning, and Variance in Juan Manuel's El Conde Lucanor
ISBN: 9780802090577 / Angielski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Juan Manuel's El Conde Lucanor was arguably one of the great masterworks of early modern Spain. Although the work appears in five very different manuscript versions from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries, most modern editions of El Conde Lucanor have neglected to account for the fact that it was part of a manuscript tradition, and that its meaning is substantially affected when its original forms are not taken in to account. With Manuscript Diversity, Meaning, and Variance in Juan Manuel's El Conde Lucanor, Laurence de Looze demonstrates how the meaning of Juan...
