Böcker av Catherine Davies

Provides a critical analysis of post-Franco Spain's successful women novelists. These writers' works share woman-centered themes such as: family relationships, the search for self-fulfillment in a restrictive society, and the hope for the construction of a new world order. The author provides an overview of contemporary women's writing in Spain.

Traces a long tradition of Spanish women's writing from the end of the Romantic period until today. The book studies the major authors within the changing political, cultural and economic context of women's lives over the past 150 years.

The struggles for independence in Latin America during the first half of the nineteenth century were accompanied by a wide-ranging debate about political rights, nationality and citizenship.

This text presents a collection of short essays which are broadly concerned with the languages and cultures of the vast "Hispanic" world, extending chronologically from Roman Hispania to today, and geographically from California to Patagonia and from Majorca to the Andes.

This new annotated critical edition is the first to provide the original Spanish text along with a substantial and authoritative introduction in English, as well as maps and tables relating to nineteenth-century Cuba, a vocabulary list, and suggestions for further reading. -- .
