The Post-Boom in Spanish American Fiction

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shaw, Donald Leslie, PUBLISHER: State University of New York Press, What happened in Spanish American fiction after the Boom? Can we define the Post-Boom? What are its characteristics? How does it relate to the Boom itself? Is Post-Boom the same as Postmodernism or something quite different? Shaw traces the emergence of a different kind of writing which began to displace the Boom in the mid-s and has flourished ever since. More reader-friendly, more concerned with the here and now of Latin America, the writers of the Post-Boom have explored new areas of Spanish American life and incorporated characters from new social groups, especially young working-class and lower middle-class figures with their distinctive "pop" culture and freewheeling life-style. Shaw suggests that, while some Boom writers have moved toward the Post-Boom, Post-Boom narrative is distinctively different from that of the older movement and cannot be readily assimilated into Postmodernism.

Hispanic Influence on American English

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Panger, Eva, PUBLISHER: VDM Verlag, Over several years the United States of America have been facing a continuous inflow of Spanish-speaking - Hispanic - immigrants coming first of all from the countries of Latin America. They represent the second largest minority group of the country, furthermore, their language has a significant impact on American English. Even nowadays it seems that this process is still going on. The development of Spanglish, the mixture of English and Spanish languages originate in such historical factors. Therefore, in the first part of the book I tried to approach this phenomenon from historical point of view. On the second hand, I analized the Hispanic influence on the American English dialect taking into consideration the linguistic and literary aspects. Finally, in the last part of the work the reader can investigate how English and Spanish languages interact in cases of language learning process. The analysis should be especially useful for those who intend to be deeply involved in the study and research of the history of American English.

Edith Wharton's Dialogue with Realism and Sentimental

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hoeller, Hildegard, PUBLISHER: University Press of Florida, Arguing against the prevailing view of Edith Wharton as a realist writer, Hildegard Hoeller opens up the Wharton canon by finding the "real" Wharton in the writer's sentimental voice and in her critique of realism. With this focus on a blind spot in Wharton criticism, Hoeller demonstrates that the celebrated American writer created a dialogue between the two literary traditions. Most analyses of Wharton's work describe her early triumph as a realist and then her decline in the s into sentimental fiction. Instead, Hoeller examines important sentimental moments in Wharton's "realist" masterpieces and finds realism in the sentimental "minor" work (including the undervalued novel, The Mother's Recompense). Hoeller shows that Wharton used the sentimental voice both to express the truth of female desire and to express her critique of male realism. In this, Wharton is shown to be fully in control of her art from the beginning to the end of her career. Using Wharton as a case study, Hoeller maintains that the ongoing argument about the value of American sentimental fiction could benefit by seriously considering sentimental aesthetics. Only then, she says, will the term sentimental cease to be a label for inferior, female, and popular fiction and become a serious literary concept. This innovative book will be of interest to scholars of 19th- and 20th-century American fiction as well as feminist scholars and those interested in the ongoing debate about the American literary canon.

The Spanish Civil War and the British Labour Movement

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Buchanan, Tom, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book draws on a mass of documentary material to provide a major reinterpretation of British labour's response to the Spanish Civil War. It challenges the view that the labour leadership' betrayed' the Spanish Republic, and that this polarised the movement along left' versus 'right' lines. Instead, it argues that the overriding concern of the major leaders was to defend labour's institutional interests against the political destabilisation caused by the conflict, rather than to defend Spanish democracy. Although the main advocates of this position were trade union leaders associated with the labour right such as Walter Citrine and Ernest Bevin, the book argues that their dominance reflected the centrality of the trade unions to labour movement decision-making rather than the abuse of union power to achieve political goals.
