Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first and only guide in English to the influential body of Catalan literature, from the middle ages to the present day. This book is the only one of its kind in English. Part literary history, part literary criticism, it is above all a personal assessment of a rich and important body of work which is still not widely known outside Catalonia. Catalan literature, one of the three major Peninsular literatures, reached an impressive level of excellence in the middle ages, beginning with Ramon Llull and the chronicles, and culminating in the two great fifteenth-century writers, the poet Ausiàs March and Joanot Martorell, the author of Tirant lo Blanc, one of the landmarks in early prose fiction. After three centuries of relative eclipse, the nineteenth-century Renaixença produced a distinctive version of Romanticism with notable achievements in poetry, theatre and the novel. More recently, Catalan writers have successfully assimilated a number of international tendencies, from Symbolism to Surrealism, while remaining deeply aware of the possibilities of the Catalan language itself. After the cultural disruption caused by the Civil War of 1936-39 and its aftermath, Catalan literature has once again shown its capacity for self-renewal, and the present literary scene is one of great interest and originality. The book does not presuppose any knowledge of Catalan; all quotations and book titles are translated, and a list of works translated into English is included. ARTHUR TERRY is Emeritus Professor of Literature at the University of Essex. Este libro queda sin paralelo en inglés. Una combinación de historia y crítica literarias, es ante todo una valoración personal de una literatura rica e importante que todavía queda poco conocida fuera de Cataluña. La literatura catalana consiguió un nivel de excelencia impresionante en la Edad Media y, a partir de su restablecimiento a principios delsiglo diecinueve, ha demostrado una capacidad extraordinaria de autorenovación que todavía persiste hoy en día. Este libro no presupone saber catalán; cada cita y título de libro queda traducido, y se incluye una lista de obras traducidas al inglés.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In writing this brief history of Catalan literature, I have tried to bear in mind the needs of the non-specialist reader with some knowledge of Spanish who wishes to know more about an important but, on the whole, neglected area of Peninsular culture. Where English readers are concerned, the task, unfortunately, is long overdue: in a recent and otherwise excellent literary encyclopedia, the whole of Catalan literature is allotted the same amount of space as Jean-Paul Sartre, and this seems characteristic of a situation which few specialists as yet have tried to alter. The chief barrier, of course, is linguistic: yet it is not difficult to acquire at least a reading knowledge of Catalan, and for reasons which are given in Chapter 1, the older literature is relatively accessible to a modern reader compared, say, with that of France or Spain. This accessibility gives an impression of coherence to the entire range of Catalan literature which is reinforced to a great extent by social and historical tendencies. Roughly speaking, Catalan literature follows a recognizable European pattern, with one notable exception: the fact that its course is interrupted for something like three centuries by what is usually known as the period of "Decadence" (see Chapter 2). To see why this should be so demands an awareness of certain historical facts, and these in turn point to the close interpenetration of literature and society which is evident in most phases of Catalan culture. Both the 19th-century revival and the more conscious programs of noucentisme in the 20th are attempts to create a new national identity, a task which has lost none of its urgency in the years since the Spanish Civil War. - Preface.

This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Kathryn Crameri reveals some of the complex responses of writers and literary critics to the new possibilities for the expression of Catalan identities which resulted from Spain's transition from dictatorship to democracy. The study begins by considering the cultural and political context of the Catalan novel from the 'Renaixenca' to the present day, and then offers a detailed analysis of novels by four very different writers - Montserrat Roig, Manuel de Pedrolo, Juan Marse (who writes in Spanish) and Biel Mesquida - all of whom seem to share an underlying thematic preoccupation with both individual and national 'transitions' and the intricate relationship between language and identity. These writers challenge institutionalised visions of the link between Catalanism, the Catalan language and Catalan literature, and offer a more pluralistic and personalised version of what it is to call oneself a Catalan."

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The question of gender has sometimes been ignored or mystified in literary historicist contributions. This book focuses on contemporary Catalan literature from a gender perspective that would be difficult to overlook today. The very limited number of female authors in earlier times -who are becoming less scarce today as the names are unearthed of women writers consigned to oblivion by the historical canons- provided the justification for discrimination of female writers. This volume contributes to these contemporary views of gender (all gender perspectives) that Catalan literature has given us. In the social roles that they adopt, the characters act, express themselves and assert themselves in the language in which they have been written, and based on the society of which they are a part"--

Download or read book The Other Catalans written by Josep-Anton Fernandez and published by . This book was released on 2025-01-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to explore how Catalan literature has depicted the social and cultural consequences of immigration in the twentieth century. Catalonia has for centuries been a destination for immigrants: first from neighboring regions, then from all over Spain, and in the last twenty-five years from the whole world. Currently, sixteen percent of the Catalan population was born outside Spain, and well over seventy-five percent of Catalans have a migrant origin. Yet the Catalans see themselves as a distinct society, and many of them are claiming political self-determination. Surveying the 1930s to the present, The Other Catalans provides a comprehensive examination of Catalan literature on immigration or by authors of migrant origin. It combines detailed readings of major texts with an awareness of the historical developments regarding immigration, providing readers with vital contextualization of migration and its literary representations. Covering both Catalan responses to immigration and literary accounts of the migrant experience, the book examines how immigration has shaped discourses of identity and otherness in Catalan culture; how the work of mourning is affected in migrant literature; how issues of language and space articulate with social and political conflict in these texts; and in what ways these issues are inflected by gender and sexuality.
