Reviews

""A bold heir to Goya, Pardo Bazán exposes cruelty and injustice while celebrating popular custom in these fierce, often tender stories. Blending feminist critique with imaginative portrayals of Gospel figures, this selection spans the career of one of Spain's bravest and most uncompromising literary voices.""--Denise DuPont ""author of Whole Faith: The Catholic Ideal of Emilia Pardo Bazán"" ""This landmark collection, impeccably curated and sensitively translated, introduces Pardo Bazán and her fiction to a wider audience and makes the Spanish fin-de-siécle come alive. This new edition is a treasure for both specialists and general readers.""--Joyce Tolliver ""author of Cigar Smoke and Violet Water: Gendered Discourse in the Stories of Emilia Pardo Bazán"" ""This selection contains some of Emilia Pardo Bazán's finest short stories. Spain's foremost nineteenth-century woman writer was a feminist, but also a Catholic and political conservative who was ambivalent about questions of social class. These tensions transpire in her skillfully written and often humorous stories that provide us with astute insights into the lives of the men and women in the Spain of her lifetime.""--Margot Versteeg ""coeditor of Approaches to Teaching the Writings of Emilia Pardo Bazán""
