Beskrivelse
The period since 1975 in Spain, following years of dictatorship, has seen a remarkable surge of creative cultural activity. Particularly significant has been the proliferation of novels by both new and established writers, often termed nueva narrative espanola. From within this diversity the recurrent themes of self and identity emerge as a constant preoccupation and constitute the central concern of this new study. Christie, Drinkwater and Macklin read their chosen texts in terms of the possibilites and limits of writing the self. New narrative writing in Spain addresses the absence oat the heart of concepts of identity and self, exploring and dissecting societal norms, cultural codes and inherited discourses in a periof of rapid economic and political change.
