| Publisher Description: Hers Ancient and Modern is a pioneering contribution to the study of women's writing in Spain and Brazil.From medieval Spanish authors Constanza de Castilla and Teresa de Cartagena to Teresa de vila in the sixteenth century, Mar a de Zayas in the seventeenth, and Ana Mar a Matute, Esther Tusquets, Carmen Mart n Gaite and Cristina Fern ndez in the twentieth, these essays do full justice to the long tradition of quality women's writing in Spain. Complemented by fine studies on contemporary Spanish poet Mar a Sanz and leading Brazilian authors Clarice Lispector and Lygia Fagundes Telles, as well as a survey of women novelists included in the Hispanic canon in the United States in the mid-1990s (Carmen Laforet, Mart n Gaite and Matute), the book points the way to the full reinstatement of these authors and demonstrates the value of studying women's writing across geographical and chronological boundaries. |
