- Kurztext
- The study emphasizes the role of the arts and humanities in the re-plotting of gender and also links cultural production to political circumstances, specifically to the end of the Franco dictatorship and the transitional to a new democracy in Spain. The inclusion of both the visual art of Marina Nnez and art photographs as well as literary authors and dramatists offers views of overarching motifs in the cultural production of Spain.The book includes an historical component, with an analysis of works by major nineteenth and early twentieth-century Spanish poets, including Espronceda, Bcquer, Villaspesas, Lorca, and the pioneer female author Blanca de los Rios. The list of writers from the 1970s forward includes both highly recognized figures, Clara Jans, Mara Victoria Atencia, Eduardo Quiles and an extensive group of important writers less recognized beyond among critics.
