Reviews
  • 'Sustained by his habitual panache and brilliance [the six chapters] constitute a series of 'strong" readings guaranteed to convince young Hispanists of the need to engage seriously with an important body of post-structuralist texts' - Malcolm K. Reed, Journal of Hispanic Philology

Description
This is the first book to analyse Spanish and Spanish American literature in the light of modern theories of sexuality. Its aim is twofold: to provide a readable introduction to the varied and complex treatments of sexuality since Freud; and to read, in this context, a representative selection of major texts from different areas of Hispanic studies - Renaissance, modern peninsular, and Spanish American. The writers discussed include Fuentes, Neruda, Lorca, and Galdós.
