Soldados De Salamina (2001): Cercas En Busca De Un Héroe Con El Instinto De La Virtud, Marie Guiribitey
Soldados De Salamina (2001): Cercas En Busca De Un Héroe Con El Instinto De La Virtud, Marie Guiribitey
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
The work analyzes the role of literature in reconstructing historical memory and in serving to attest against the collective amnesia which takes place during the transition to democracy in Spain. The recreating of a historic episode during the Civil War allows the narrator of Soldados de Salamina to remake the past and call for the recovery of historical memory. Also examined is Maurice Halbwachs’ premise-the need to maintain “an affective community” in order to arrive at a reconstruction of memories.
La Narrativa De Lucía Etxebarría: Desvelando El Estado Actual De La Mujer Española, Lydia Masanet
La Narrativa De Lucía Etxebarría: Desvelando El Estado Actual De La Mujer Española, Lydia Masanet
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
This article underlines the traits that support the narrative of Lucía Etxebarría in her up-front compromise to unveil and denounce the reality of the Spanish women’s position in the new millennium. The literary universe of Etxebarría, full of false gains, preconditioned determinations, and unreachable expectations, redundantly questions a reality in which women of Spain are immersed, all tricks that if seen from the distance, appear to transfer the practicing of equality mandated by new laws without difficulty.
The Gothic Genre Beyond Borders: Mathew Lewis’S Influence On José De Espronceda’S El Estudiante De Salamanca, Francisco Fernández
The Gothic Genre Beyond Borders: Mathew Lewis’S Influence On José De Espronceda’S El Estudiante De Salamanca, Francisco Fernández
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
Once the Gothic crossed the Spanish border, a number of writers were influenced by this genre. This is the case of José de Espronceda in his El estudiante de Salamanca (1840). Influenced by Matthew Lewis’sThe Monk, Espronceda not only uses Gothic conventions when he creates a protagonist haunted by a ghost but also subverts them by reversing the villain-victim relationship for the sake of poetic justice. As a result, the development of the plot is more strongly justified, for the hero’s sins are, after all, what lead him to his tragic end.
El Determinismo En Historia De Una Escalera De Antonio Buero-Vallejo, Victor M. Durán
El Determinismo En Historia De Una Escalera De Antonio Buero-Vallejo, Victor M. Durán
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
This paper attempts to identify the deterministic traits that are found in Historia de una escalera that Buero-Vallejo masterfully utilizes to suggest that the play is indeed anti-deterministic. The paper identifies and describes salient characteristics of Emile Zola’s (1840-1902) scientific determinism and demonstrates how these characteristics underpin the drama to emphasize the playwright’s theme postulated in Historia de una escalera, that is, life in general is not governed by scientific determinism.

Federico Vidal, El Espíritu Ecuánime En Los Vencidos De Antonio Ferres, Louis Bourne
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
Antonio Ferres (Madrid, 1924), Spanish novelist who began publishing in the 1950s in the period of what has been called “social realism,” wrote Los vencidos in 1960 during a shorter period of about four years referred to as “critical realism,” but the novel was forbidden by the censor during the Franco dictatorship, came out in Italian in 1962 and in Spanish in France in 1965. Unjustly deprived of a general Spanish public until 2005, it tells the story of Asunción who searches for her husband only to find he was put to death by Spanish nationalists, Federico Vidal, an imprisoned …
