Description

"The work of Merce Rodoreda (1908-1983) occupies a hallowed place in Spanish and Catalan literary canons. To date, however, little attention has been paid to Rodoreda as a modernist writer. This study situates her work within Catalan, Spanish, and European modernisms - a reading that modifies many premises pertaining to her production and accepted modernist frameworks. Constantly foregrounded is Rodoreda's negotiation of the overlapping categories of gender, class, modes of representation, and national identities: the subjects at the core of modernist thought. Prominent are theories relevant to cultural materialism, cultural histories of modernist Catalunya, Spain, and Europe, feminist thought, and the visual arts."--BOOK JACKET.
