Harkema analyzes the literature of the modernist period in Spain in light of the emergence of youth culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHarkema argues for the prominent role played by Miguel de Unamunoas a poet, essayist, and public figurein Spanish writers’ response to this phenomenon. She demonstrates how early twentieth-century Spanish literature participated in the glorification of adolescence and questioning of \u003ci\u003eBildung \u003c\/i\u003eseen elsewhere in European modernism, in ways that were not only aesthetic but also political. Harkema critically re-examines the relationship between Unamuno and several Spanish writers associated with the so-called Generation of 1927 (known as at the time as la joven literatura or the young literature). By situating this period within the wider framework of European modernism, \u003ci\u003eSpanish Modernism and the P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Leslie Harkema has written an excellent book on an important but neglected subject: the productive relationship between Unamuno and the younger writers of la joven literatura, and she has shed new light on both. For a superannuated unamunologo like the present reviewer it is heartening to know that Unamuno studies have passed into the capable hands of discerning, well-informed, and industrious young scholars like the author of this well-researched and informative book.\" -- C.
