Böcker av Diane Marting

The countries of Spanish America have a history of women's literature that is full, varied, and, until now, undocumented in English. Included are fictional works dealing primarily with women, women's literature, feminism, and the condition of women, with a separate index of anthologies.

Clarice Lispector was one of the most important Brazilian writers in Portuguese of the 20th century, and her work continues to receive critical attention. The second part of the volume contains chapters on general works about Lispector's writing, such as biographical accounts, bibliographies and other reference works, and general criticism.

Each essay provides biographical and career information, discusses the major themes in the body of work, and surveys criticism, ending with a detailed bibliography of works by the writer, works available in translation if applicable, and works about the writer.
