The author offers a stunning, double-stranded approach to Spanish cultural production in twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature and art. The Shakespearian figure of Ophelia serves as the grounding from which the evolutionary genetics of gender and Spanish cultural history is made visible. This reference to DNA is deliberate: the imprint of Ophelia on contemporary Spanish art and culture is indelible. --Margaret H. Persin, Professor Emerita, Rutgers University A masterful and comprehensive study of the myriad manifestations of Ophelia in post-Franco Spain. The book includes all the literary genres--poetry, novel, drama--and the visual arts with stunning illustrations. Shakespeare's tragic female character has taken on a wide variety of meanings in Spain's recent culture, displaying an amazing adaptability to new circumstances. --Roberta Johnson, Professor Emerita, University of Kansas
