Description
Book SynopsisThe relationship between fiction and historiography in Francoist Spain (1939-1975) is a contentious one. Making a decisive intervention in the debate about the ways in which narration determines both the meaning and truth of history and fiction, this title is of interest to students of politics, history, and literature of twentieth-century Spain.
Trade Review"Herzberger offers us a view of Spanish postwar fiction that is insightful and original. His thesis is convincingly argued and documented, and important to our understanding not only of the fiction, but of Spain in general during this period. This study very definitely will have an impact on critical thinking about this period of Spanish fiction."—Robert C. Spires, University of Kansas
"This book offers a new perspective on the relationship between official Francoist historiographical ideology and the production of fiction in postwar Spain."—Janet Perez, Texas Tech University
