“This is a book that, as only outstanding books are able to do, opens up the horizon for its readers and invites new forms of thought and critical inquiry.”<br /><b>Maite Zubiaurre,<i> UCLA<br /><br /></i></b>“Crisp, refreshing, dramatic, informative, thoughtful, and ambitious, this is a must-have for the modern period in Spain. It breaks new ground through its energetic and even-handed attention to the four cultures of the Peninsula, changes the landscape, and opens new doors for all.”<br /><b>Alison Sinclair,<i> University of Cambridge<br /></i></b><br />“Writing a compelling review of a national literature in modern times is complex, if not impos­sible, especially in a context such as that of the Iberian Peninsula, which is known for its lin­guistic diversity. However, <i>Modern Literatures in Spain </i>confronts that challenge. … a suggestive and inspiring cultural history of the major national literary spheres, suit­able for scholars, professors, and students… <i>Modern Literatures in Spain </i>serves as an excellent compilation of modern literary production: one that points to the pivotal themes and historical processes that defined modernity in Spain, explains the literary trends that resulted from them, and articulates a new paradigm for studying and understanding its national literatures.”<br /><b><i>Hispania</i></b>
