Description:
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 Bazán, and the wider context of prose fiction and criticism during the period 1870 to 1935.
Review Quotes:
"A banquet for the mind awaits readers of this slim but handsome volume of fourteen essays." (Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, Vol. LXXVIII, No. 3, 2001)
"This well-presented, clearly annotated and indexed volume contains fourteen articles on late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century prose including contributions on Galdós, Padre Coloma, Unamuno, Insúa and Pardo Bazán . . . What is impressive about this diverse collection is the way in which it does succeed in holding together . . . The collection bears testimony to the interdependence at the heart of academic practice and the intertextuality integral to it . . . [and] is a valuable contribution to the study of modern Spanish literature." (Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, Vol. LXXVIII, No. 2, April 2001)
