Gender and Modernization in the Spanish Realist Novel

by Jo Labanyi

Book Overview

This new interdisciplinary study relates the late-nineteenth-century Spanish realist novel to contemporary debates in economics, politics, medicine and town planning. It argues that women function in the key texts of Spanish realism as ciphers of contemporary anxieties about modernization and, in particular, about its conversion of reality into representation.
