Labanyi J., Spanish Literature — 2010 (Very short introductions. 241)
Аннотация: Spanish literature has a rich history, from its multicultural middle ages through the 'invention' of the novel in the 16th century to the present day. Looking at the ways in which Spanish literature has been read, in and outside of Spain, explaining misconceptions, and outlining insights of recent scholarship, Jo Labanyi covers a wide range of writers and works. Highlighting the cosmopolitanism and modernity of much Spanish literature, Labanyi relates the works discussed to contemporary debates on gender and sexuality, cultural diversity, and heritage.
