Reviews
Based on scholarly research, these essays examine the notion of collective and historical memory after the Spanish Civil War and Franco's dictatorship. The book examines individual texts and authors of the Spanish postwar period as a way of offering new perspectives on canonical and little-studied works and of presenting theoretical approaches to memory pertinent to Spanish novels written in the postwar era. One essay investigates representations of trauma in works that have been neglected. Another is dedicated exclusively to novels written by Spanish women from the 1940s to the 1960s, exploring the relationships between history and collective memory, remembering and forgetting, and literary representations of individual and collective trauma through the works of David Herzberger. The book concludes with extensive notes, a thorough bibliography, and a concise index. This is a good tool for those interested in the Spanish Civil War and debates on collective memory in literature. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty. CHOICE
