Anthony J. Cascardi
The Cambridge Companion to Cervantes
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002
Don Quixote de la Mancha (1605) is one of the classic texts of Western literature and the foundation of European fiction. Yet Cervantes himself remains an enigmatic figure. The Cambridge Companion to Cervantes, first published in 2002, offers a comprehensive treatment of Cervantes' life and work, including his lesser known writing. The essays, by some of the most outstanding scholars in the field, cover the historical and political context of Cervantes' writing, his place in Renaissance culture, and the role of his masterpiece, Don Quixote, in the formation of the modern novel. They draw on contemporary critical perspectives to shed new light on Cervantes' work, including the 'Exemplary Novels', the plays and dramatic interludes, and the long romances, Galatea and Persiles. The volume provides useful supporting material for students; suggestions for further reading, a detailed chronology, a complete list of his published writings, an overview of translations and editions, and a guide to electronic resources.

The Cambridge Companion to Modern Spanish Culture
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999
This book offers a comprehensive account of modern Spanish culture, tracing its dramatic and often unexpected development from its beginnings after the Revolution of 1868 to the present day. Specially-commissioned essays by leading experts provide analyses of the historical and political background of modern Spain, the culture of the major autonomous regions (notably Castile, Catalonia, and the Basque Country), and the country's literature: narrative, poetry, theatre and the essay. Spain's recent development is divided into three main phases: from 1868 to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War; the period of the dictatorship of Francisco Franco; and the post-Franco arrival of democracy. The concept of 'Spanish culture' is investigated, and there are studies of Spanish painting and sculpture, architecture, cinema, dance, music, and the modern media. A chronology and guides to further reading are provided, making the volume an invaluable introduction to the politics, literature and culture of modern Spain. (da sito Cambridge University Press)

The Cambridge Companion to the Spanish Novel . From 1600 to the Present
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003
The Cambridge Companion to the Spanish Novel presents the development of the modern Spanish novel from 1600 to the present. Drawing on the combined legacies of Don Quijote and the traditions of the picaresque novel, these essays focus on the question of invention and experiment, on what constitutes the singular features of evolving fictional forms. It examines how the novel articulates the relationships between history and fiction, high and popular culture, art and ideology, and gender and society. Contributors highlight the role played by historical events and cultural contexts in the elaboration of the Spanish novel, which often takes a self-conscious stance toward literary tradition. Topics covered include the regional novel, women writers, and film and literature. This companionable survey, which includes a chronology and guide to further reading, conveys a vivid sense of the innovative techniques of the Spanish novel and of the debates surrounding it.

Storia della letteratura spagnola. Volume primo. Il Medioevo e l'Età d'Oro
Torino: Einuadi, 2000
Parlare di letteratura spagnola significa riferirsi a un concetto che si č costituito nel diciottesimo secolo e ha trovato piena espressione nel diciannovesimo, quando il Romanticismo e il Positivismo hanno reso le storie delle letterature delle diverse nazioni un simbolo patriottico e un referente per l'unità dei cittadini. Inoltre, parlare di «spagnolo» prima del Diciottesimo secolo č spesso una forzatura, visto il mosaico di lingue che ha popolato la Penisola Iberica a partire dalla Reconquista. Per questi motivi comporre una Storia della letteratura spagnola č un'operazione molto delicata che i curatori hanno scelto di dividere in tre periodi: Medioevo, Secoli d'Oro, Età contemporanea. Ciascuno di questi, infatti, ha delle peculiarità che lo differenziano e lo rendono unico. La storia della letteratura spagnola si presenta dunque come il risultato dell'unione di tre periodi, di cui tuttavia sono state rispettate le caratteristiche, analizzando i rapporti con le coeve letterature straniere e collocandole nell'esatta dimensione storica. In questo libro il lettore e lo studioso troveranno le chiavi per comprendere meglio una parte del passato e del presente, per seguire il processo evolutivo dei cambiamenti di mentalità e per conoscere piú da vicino chi č riuscito a utilizzare la lingua spagnola con maggiore sensibilità; insomma, quegli scrittori che hanno influito sul modo di essere e di pensare del popolo spagnolo.
