Memory and Trauma in the Postwar Spanish Novel: Revisiting the Past - Paperback

by Sarah Leggott (Editor), Ross Woods (Editor), Christine Arkinstall (Contribution by)

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.
