Este libro muestra que Gabriel Miro no ha sido olvidado, sino que ha influido en la literatura hispanica posterior, en particular la novela de postguerra. ENGLISH VERSION This book shows that Gabriel Miro has been undervalued and how he has influenced Hispanic literature, particularly the novel of the post-Civil War period. Que ha hecho que la obra de Gabriel Miro parezca haberse relegado a un lugar marginal de la historia de la literatura espanola, con cada vez menos lectores? La pregunta no es baladi. Puede que Miro no fuera un escritor de maEn efecto, en concordancia con la estetica de vanguardia, fue un autor dificil. Pero fue una figura clave de la llamada edad de plata. Sus obras, ademas, suscitaron un interes de repercusiones mediaticas, como las polemicas eno a su retrato del clero o la presunta inmoralidad de su prosa y su heterodoxa vision de Cristo. En este libro, se sugieren las razones que han podido llevar a este injusto olvido literario y se muestra que, a pesar de todo, su obra nunca ha dejado de ser relevante, y ha influido en autores de postguerra tan importantes como Camilo Jose Cela y Francisco Umbral, en la obra narrativa de un filologo de tanto prestigio como Antonio Prieto y en otros novelistas como Pedro de Lorenzo, Antonio Zoido y Adolfo Lizon. Guillermo Lain Corona es profesor de lengua y literatura espanolas en University College London. ENGLISH VERSION Why does it seem that Gabriel Miro has been neglected as a secondary writer in the literary history of Spain, with fewer and fewer readers? Miro might not have had a mass readership, as, according to the aesthetics of the Avant-Garde, he was a difficult writer. However, hisworks attracted the kind of attention that fascinated the media, including the controversies surrounding his portrayals of the clergy, the supposed immorality of his prose and his heterodox view of Christ. This book tackles the reasons for this unfair neglect and shows that, despite it, his work was never completely overlooked. Indeed, Miro influenced relevant writers of the post-Civil War period, such as Camilo Jose Cela and Francisco Umbral, as well as the prose fiction of an important philologist like Antonio Prieto and other novelists such as Pedro de Lorenzo, Antonio Prieto and Adolfo Lizon.

Un analisis de la obra poetica de Lope de Vega revela como amoldo su propio personaje "e;Lope"e; para adecuarse, generalmente con exito, a los cambios de su entorno.La obra poetica de Lope de Vega se diferencia del resto de la produccion del Siglo de Oro por una insistente singularidad: escenas y figuras de la vida del autor aparecen frecuentemente en sus poemas. La critica y el publico general ha respondido a esta caracteristica desde una perspectiva post-romantica, considerando que Lope escribio con sinceridad e inspiracion biografica, impulsado por su apasionada vida personal. En este libro se analiza lo que los post-romanticos consideran "e;sinceridad"e; como un recurso literario. Lope consigue una apariencia de sinceridad pero, de hecho, reaccionaba a los cambios de su entorno social y literario creando nuevas actitudes "e;biograficas"e;. Ensu poesia amorosa y epica, su conocida vida amorosa le proporciona fama y reconocimiento. En el Isidro, se presenta como el genio defensor de lo castellano y espanol por antonomasia.

El papel de las ropas en la construccion de la identidad en neuve autobiografias ficticias e historicas del Siglo de Oro.Este libro examina el significativo papel de las ropas y de los adornos corporales en la construccion de la identidad en nueve autobiografias ficticias e historicas del Siglo de Oro: Lazarillo de Tormes, Guzman de Alfarache, Guiton Onofre, El Buscon, La picara Justina , Vida del soldado espanol Miguel de Castro , Discurso de mi vida de Alonso Contreras, Vida i sucesos de la Monja Alferez de Catalina de Erauso y Comentarios del desenganado de Duque de Estrada. En estas obras las vestiduras proyectan una compleja vision externa de la personalidad que sustituye la falta de introspeccion y de descripcion del cuerpo caracteristicas de estas narraciones. Este estudio considera la representacion verbal de la ropa como un sitio donde confluyen dialecticamente el sujeto escindido en busca de unidad ficticia y de distincion personal y el individuo enfrentado a las estructuras y discursos que lo configuran. El analisis tiene en cuenta el significado filologico, economico, politico, moral y artistico del vestido en el periodo pero sigue diferentes metodologias,las teorias de Bakhtin, Mulvey, Freud, Lacan y Kristeva, para explicar la subjetividad particular de cada Vida.

Explores the political meanings that Italian opera - its composers, agents and institutions - had for audiences in eighteenth-century Britain.The reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714) was pivotal for both politics and opera in Britain. In this study, Thomas McGeary brings together a wide range of sources to show how the worlds of politics and opera were entwined. The associations that Italian singing and singers acquired by the 1690s were used in partisan Whig-Tory writings. Rather than a foreign invasion, McGeary shows how the introduction of Italian-style opera was a native product that grew out of plans for a new theatre in the Haymarket. A crucial event for opera was Handel's arrival in London in 1710. While the criticism of opera by Whig writers such as Richard Steele and Joseph Addison is well known, McGeary uncovers how the early promotion and sponsorship of opera was, in fact, largely a Whig enterprise and cultural program. Indeed, major political figures (mostly Whigs) participated in the support and patronage of opera.Opera and Politics in Queen Anne's Britain will be required reading for opera scholars and cultural and political historians of eighteenth-century Britain, as well those interested in the vibrant literature culture of the period.

Considering its territorial and social influence and the superlative nature of its indigenous collections - which since 1735 has included one of the most significant late seventeenth century London art collections - Weston Park is not as well known as one might expect. The House, with its thousand acre landscape park and contents, was gifted to the nation in 1986 by Richard, 7th Earl of Bradford and was vested by the NHMF in the Weston Park Foundation, an independent charitable trust. Until then, the house had always passed by descent, often through the female line, and it had stood at the centre of an estate with a wide geographical spread, with tentacles linking this quintessential English country house not only with the adjacent counties of Shropshire and Staffordshire but with more distant estates which included the urban centres of Walsall, Bolton and Wigan. Weston Park's owners and staff had a pivotal role in the development of these places, whilst the family's involvement in politics, the legal profession, and the military brought them to the forefront of national affairs on frequent occasions. Their seat at Weston Park provided not only a fitting home, visited by royalty and politicians, but also became a repository of important patronage and of collections. These included not only important Regency and pre-Revolutionary French decorative arts but, in 1735, the highly significant late seventeenth and early eighteenth century collection of paintings that had been assembled by Francis Newport, 1st Earl of Bradford of the first creation and his younger son, Thomas, Baron Torrington. Meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated, this book seeks to tell the story of the House, its setting, extraordinary collections, and the influence that it has had on wider communities through the history of those who have owned and cared for it.
