Courses dealing with the Spanish Civil War are given regularly in literature, foreign language, and history departments, in English and in Spanish. This volume helps instructors plan courses that exploit the interdisciplinary, multigeneric opportunities present in the period's aesthetic output. In thirty-five essays, contributors negotiate the complex relation between art and history in depictions of the war and its aftermath, exploring how memory is shaped.
Noel Valis is professor of Spanish at Yale University. She is the author of nineteen books, including The Decadent Vision in Leopoldo Alas, The Novels of Jacinto Octavio Picon, The Culture of Cursileria: Bad Taste, Kitsch, and Class in Modern Spain and Reading the Nineteenth-Century Spanish Novel.
"This volume is extremely valuable, not only for those contemplating teaching a course related to the Spanish Civil War, . . . but also for readers interested in twentieth-century European culture." --Roberta Johnson, professor emerita, University of Kansas
