Memory and Trauma in the Postwar Spanish Novel

Revisiting the Past
Herausgeber: Leggott, Sarah; Woods, Ross

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book proposes a new direction for the study of Spanish literature of the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s, arguing that novels of this period merit a fresh critical approach that enriches existing perspectives on the Spanish novel during the first two decades of the Franco dictatorship. Essays take an interdisciplinary approach to reveal how contemporary cultural theory relating to memory and trauma can enhance our understanding of the postwar Spanish novel.
