Sacred Realism: Religion and the Imagination in Modern Spanish Narrative

By Noël Maureen Valis

In this thoughtful and compelling book, leading Spanish literature scholar No l Valis re-examines the role of Catholicism in the modern Spanish novel. While other studies of fiction and faith have focused largely on religious themes, Sacred Realism views the religious impulse as a crisis of modernity: a fundamental catalyst in the creative and moral development of Spanish narrative.
