Jo Labanyi and Luisa Elena Delgado offer a comprehensive cultural history of modern literature in Spain, collaborating with contributors Helena Buffery, Kirsty Hooper, and Mari Jose Olaziregi. Spanning from the eighteenth century to the present, this work explores the country's rich and complex cultural heritage across its four major literary cultures: Castilian, Catalan, Galician, and Basque. By critically engaging with the concept of the "national," Modern Literatures in Spain delves into the uneven institutionalization of Spain's diverse literatures in the context of Castilian literary dominance. It also examines diasporic and exile writing, shedding light on the ways in which writers have responded to historical change.
The book is organized thematically, with chapters exploring various aspects of Spanish literature. These include literary constructions of subjectivity, gender, and sexuality; urban and rural imaginaries; intersections between high and popular culture; and the formation of a public sphere. Throughout, readings are attentive to the multiple ways in which literature serves as a barometer of cultural responses to historical change.
In addition to providing an introduction to major cultural debates, Modern Literatures in Spain offers an original analysis of key texts. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the literatures and cultures of Spain, offering a deep understanding of the country's literary heritage and its role in shaping its cultural identity.
