Mirror, Mirror on the Page: Identity and Subjectivity in Spanish Women's Poetry (1975-2000)

By Michael W. Mudrovic, W. Michael Mudrovic, Michael Mudrovic

This book offers detailed studies of eight works of poetry written by Spanish women in the years following the death of Francisco Franco and the evolution of a democratic government. Each chapter, devoted to a single work, shows how the poet defines herself as both as a woman and a poet by portraying a female figure in the text of the poem. The linguistic interaction between the woman writing and the figure portrayed in the poem sets in motion a fascinating play of similarity and difference through which these poets inscribe themselves as women and writers in the new, democratic Spain.
