Inhalt: Imagined Truths provides a twenty-first-century analysis of stylistic and philosophical manifestations of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish literary realism. Bringing together the work of the foremost specialists in the field of contemporary Spanish letters, this collection offers new approaches to literary and cultural criticism and reveals how Spanish realism, far from being imitative of other European movements, engaged in complex and modern concepts of representation and mimesis. Imagined Truths acknowledges the critical importance of women writers and contemporary approaches to questions of gender. The essays address the impact of economics on our perceptions of reality and our constructions of everyday life, and they argue for the importance of emotions in the social construction of individual identity. Most importantly, they also acknowledge the post-imperial turn in literary studies. Addressing a broad range of authors, works, and topics, from the continued relevance of Cervantes' Don Quijote to Spanish realism's ability to move beyond narrative to inhabit the spaces of both theatre and film, Imagined Truths constitutes a series of meditations on new ways for understanding the unique place of realism in Spain's cultural history. Offering insights for specialists in a wide range of disciplines, including literature, cultural studies, gender studies, history, and philosophy, this collection is equally important for readers becoming acquainted with realist narrative as a central component of Spanish literary history.

Inhalt: "This volume of scholarly essays brings together the work of the foremost specialists in the field of contemporary Spanish letters. It represents not only the first collection to focus exclusively on the phenomenon of realism within the context of modern Spanish literature in more than a quarter century, but also the first to be written in English. Imagined Truths appears at a significant moment of renewed interest in realism as a literary, historical, and cultural phenomenon. The essays in this collection address a broad range of authors, works, and topics from an exploration of the continued relevance of Cervantes' Don Quixote to Juan Marse's twenty-first century detective fiction, and they focus on the various ways in which we understand and process narratives as representative of a certain kind of reality. In addition to their valuable analyses of particular works and authors, the essays constitute a much-needed scholarly dialogue that expands our understanding of the unique place of realism in Spain's cultural history."--
