Description
Few events have stirred the emotions and caught the imaginations of intellectuals as did the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39. "The Spanish Civil War in Literature" examines the diverse literatures that the war inspired: a literature relating directly to the war, a literature of exile arising from the forty-year dictatorship of Francisco Franco, and a polemical literature embracing pro-Franco and Loyalist sympathies. In this book, specialists from a variety of fields explore these literatures within comparative and interdisciplinary frameworks. They reflect upon film, poetry, novels, painting, discourse, biography, and propaganda. The essays are grouped according to the original languages of the works they discuss: French, Russian, English, and Spanish. Janet Perez is Paul Whitfield Horn Professor of Spanish at Texas Tech University. She is the author or editor of numerous books, including "The Feminist Encyclopedia of Spanish Literature". Wendell Aycock is Associate Dean of the Graduate School at Texas Tech University. His many works include "Film and Literature: A Comparative Approach to Adaptation".
