Bringing into the discussion authors such as Rub n Dar o, Miguel de Unamuno, Carmen Mart n Gaite, and Gabriel Garc a M rquez, Venegas reveals unsuspected connections between the authors' literary use of epistolary writing and their opinions about the place of Hispanic culture and civilization within a global context. \u003ci\u003eTransatlantic Correspondence\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to broader debates on literary transnationalism and the contradictory nature of modernity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Each chapter frames literary works by authors from both sides of the Atlantic within key historical events spanning the loss of Spain's overseas possessions in 1898 to the commemoration of Columbus's quincentennial in 1992. This broad range of historical reference is counterpointed by the nuanced examination of a single formal feature in a wide variety of canonical and non-canonical texts. Drawing on insights from postcolonial studies, the book addresses the link between historical transformations that traverse decades and continents and specific stylistic choices in order to foster an understanding of Hispanic literary and cultural studies that is not limited by categories such as \"movement,\" \"generation,\" and \"national literature.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e José Luis Venegas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814252949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJosé Luis Venegas is assistant professor of Romance Languages and Interdisciplinary Humanities at Wake Forest University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohio State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40180674199667,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_6037a2e6-0b7a-4bdf-a0e0-b0848bfc5b3c.jpg?v=1655471831","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/transatlantic-correspondence-modernity-epistolarity-and-literature-in-spain-and-spanish-america-1898-1992-9780814252949","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
