El Bildungsroman aparecio por primera vez en Alemania a finales del siglo dieciocho. Al principio el termino se aplicaba a una manifestacion literaria estrictamente limitada tanto por el contexto cultural como por el genero del protagonista. Este estudio examina la plausibilidad de la existencia del genero en una forma contemporanea y femenina. A traves de las teorias francofeministas de Julia Kristeva, Helene Cixous, y Luce Irigaray aplicadas a la obra narrativa de Isabel Allende, Fanny Buitrag...

Baltasar Gracian gehort zu den Klassikern der spanischen Barockliteratur und ist dem deutschen Leser besonders durch sein -Handorakel- in der Ubersetzung Schopenhauers bekannt. Das -Criticon- ist das letzte grosse Werk Gracians. Sein epochentypischer zyklischer Zeitbegriff erweist sich darin als strukturell pragend, sowohl fur die Gestaltung der narrativen Zeit als auch fur die Darstellung der Figuren. Auch inhaltlich spielen Zeit und Geschichte hier wie im gesamten Schaffen des Autors eine hera...

In this wide-ranging study Marina Scordilis Brownlee investigates the importance of the letter--often a complex interplay of objectivity and subjectivity--in the establishment of novelistic discourse. She shows how Ovid's Heroides explore the discourse of epistolarity in a way that exerted a lasting effect on Italian, French, and Spanish works of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, especially on the fifteenth-century Spanish novela sentimental, or "sentimental romance." Presenting this proto-noveli...

Finally, the author draws on archival research at the Filmoteca Nac...

This book proposes a new way of tracing the history of the Early Modern Spanish novel through the prism of literary continuation. It identifies and examines the Golden Age narratives that invented the sequel and the narrative genres that the sequel in turn invented.

The book also defines the sequel's forms and functions, filling a major gap in lit...

This multidisciplinary volume was inspired by the quincentenary of the death of Queen Isabel I of Castile, early modern Europe's first powerful queen regnant. Comprising work by distinguished art historians, musicologists, historians, and literary scholars from England, Spain, and the United States, it begins with a theoretical examination of medieval queenship itself that argues - against the grain of the volume - for its inseparability from kingship. Several essays examine the complex ways in...

Shakespeare in the Spanish Theatre offers an account of Shakespeare's presence on the Spanish stage, from a production of the first Spanish rendering of Jean-Francois Ducis's Hamlet in 1772 to the creative and controversial work of directors like Calixto Bieito and Alex Rigola in the early 21st century. Despite a largely indirect entrance into the culture, Shakespeare has gone on to become the best and known and most widely performed of all foreign playwrights. What is more, by the end of the 20...
