Book Synopsis The Practice of Realism by : James Whiston
Download or read book The Practice of Realism written by James Whiston and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fortunata y Jacinta is the magnum opus of Benito Perez Galdos, acknowledged in the field of Spanish letters as second only in importance to Cervantes. This study is an analysis of the different parts of the manuscript as palimpsest, or layering of texts from the early manuscript drafts of the work to its printed edition, produced in successive stages to create a better version than the last. The analysis seeks to lay bare important aspects of the creative process of composition in the astounding cultural phenomenon that is the nineteenth-century realist novel, assessing in what ways any changes from earlier to later drafts may provide an understanding of the genius of creation in this particular literary form. James Whiston is an Associate Professor of Spanish at Trinity College, Dublin.
Book Synopsis Fortunata and Jacinta by : Benito Pérez Galdós
Download or read book Fortunata and Jacinta written by Benito Pérez Galdós and published by Athens : University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capturing a ninteenth-century Spanish world of political tumult and personal obsession, Benito Pérez Galdós's Fortunata and Jacinta tells of two women who love the same man unfailingly - one as his mistress, the other as his wife. In this new and complete translation, Agnes Moncy Gullón presents the detailed realism, the diversity of character and scene that have placed Fortunata and Jacinta alongside the voluminous works of Charles Dickens and Honoré de Balzac. Galdós's Madrid, recast from his youthful wanderings through the city's slums and cafés, includes the egg sellers and faded bullfighters surrounding Fortunata as well as the quieter, sequestered milieu of Jacinta's upbringing. Through Juanito, the lover of both women, the writer reveals Spain as a variegated fabric of delicate traditions and established vices, of shaky politics and rich intrigue. In this vast and colorful world, resonant of Dickens's London and Balzac's France, Galdós presents his characters with a depth, ambiguity, and humor born of the multiplicity of his scene.

Book Synopsis Conflicts and Conciliations by : Geoffrey Ribbans
Download or read book Conflicts and Conciliations written by Geoffrey Ribbans and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1881 and 1897, Benito P rez Gald s, generally acknowledged as Spain's greatest nineteenth-century novelist, composed some twenty "contemporary" novels, which Geoffrey Ribbans characterizes as the peak of his achievement. This monumental study traces the evolution of the many strands that make up one of them: the long and complex novel Fortunata y Jacinta. Ribbans examines the various stages of composition, not only the earlier, reconstructed Alpha version but also subsequent revisions in the much corrected handwritten text and in the printer's galleys. He treats these tentative drafts as part of the process of reaching out toward the coherent definitive text. Ribbans's analysis of such devices as the ambiguous role of the narrator, the use of free indirect style and direct dialogue, and the construction of distinctive ideolects leads to the heart of his study, the development of Gald s's characters.

Book Synopsis The Duchess of San Quintin by : Benito Perez Galdos
Download or read book The Duchess of San Quintin written by Benito Perez Galdos and published by Juan de La Cuesta-Hispanic Monographs. This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benito Perez Galdos (1843-1920), a native of the Canary Islands, is generally considered the greatest Spanish novelist since Cervantes. Some thirty-one novels-highlighted by the masterful Fortunata and Jacinta (Fortunata y Jacinta)-attest to the fact that his oeuvre merits comparison with the works of contemporaries like Balzac, Dickens, Thackeray, and Eca de Queiros. And in five series of historical-fictional National Episodes (forty-six in all) he chronicled the span of the nineteenth century in Spain, from 1805 to the 1890s. But Don Benito, as he was known to many, had, from an early age, an enduring interest in the theater-an interest that he would rekindle in 1892 while at the height of his output of key works grouped under the rubric of "Contemporary Spanish Novels," an interest, furthermore, that would lead him to write twenty-four plays. The first three opened to mixed reviews. Reality (Realidad, 1892) and The Madwoman of the House (La loca de la casa, 1893) were based on novels of the same titles, and Gerona (1893) was based on the National Episode publication of 1874. Critics and theater-going public alike called into question the widely acclaimed novelist's ability to become a dramatist of note, not a dramatist manque who would play on his fame as a writer of fiction. Hence the importance of The Duchess of San Quintin (1894), Galdos's first original play, which-with its revolutionary theme-triumphed to such a degree and to such overwhelming popular approval that it ran for fifty consecutive performances in Spain's capital. *** Robert M. Fedorchek is a professor emeritus of modern languages and literatures at Fairfield University. He has published twenty-one books of translations of Spanish literature. This is his fourth translation for Juan de la Cuesta Hispanic Monographs."

Book Synopsis Modernity and Epistemology in Nineteenth-Century Spain by : Ryan A. Davis
Download or read book Modernity and Epistemology in Nineteenth-Century Spain written by Ryan A. Davis and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fraught tension between science and religion has loomed large in scholarship about the nineteenth century in Spain, especially given the prominence of the Catholic Church and the discoveries made by Wallace and Darwin. The struggle for epistemological superiority between these two discourses (science and religion) has served to overshadow certain corners of the cultural landscape that, though prominent sites of intellectual exploration in their day, have received comparatively less scholarly attention until recently. Fringe Discourses brings together a group of essays that seeks to restore a sense of the epistemological richness of nineteenth-century Spain. By exploring the relationship between epistemology, modernity, and subjectivity, these essays recover significant efforts by Spanish authors and intellectuals to explain human nature and their world, which seemed to be changing so radically before their eyes. In doing so the essays also reveal just how elastic the relationship was between science and pseudoscience, genius and quackery. Offering a veritable Wunderkammer, the authors collected here train their sights both on curious fields of study (from pogonolgy, the science of beards, to Spiritualism) and curiouser people (from a government spy on undercover assignment in Morocco dressed as a Moorish prince to a hypnotic huckster who dupes the queen regent). With other authors focusing on science fiction dystopias, mystical journeys, and anatomical symbology, Fringe Discourses reveals the Spanish nineteenth century for the intellectual Wild West it was.

Book Synopsis Drawing the Curtain by : Esther Fernández
Download or read book Drawing the Curtain written by Esther Fernández and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miguel de Cervantes’s experimentation with theatricality is frequently tied to the notion of revelation and disclosure of hidden truths. Drawing the Curtain showcases the elements of theatricality that characterize Cervantes’s prose and analyses the ways in which he uses theatricality in his own literary production. Bringing together the works of well-known scholars, who draw from a variety of disciplines and theoretical approaches, this collection demonstrates how Cervantes exploits revelation and disclosure to create dynamic dramatic moments that surprise and engage observers and readers. Hewing closely to Peter Brook’s notion of the bare or empty stage, Esther Fernández and Adrienne L. Martín argue that Cervantes’s omnipresent concern with theatricality manifests not only in his drama but also in the myriad metatheatrical instances dispersed throughout his prose works. In doing so, Drawing the Curtain sheds light on the ways in which Cervantes forces his readers to engage with themes that are central to his life and works, including love, freedom, truth, confinement, and otherness.
