Books by Jo Labanyi

Since the Civil War, Spanish novelists have produced a noteworthy body of fiction. Jo Labanyi provides detailed textual analysis of six of the most important novels of the period and raises important general issues about the ways in which fiction, as a form of mythicfication, relates to the real world.

Part of the "Modern Literature in Perspective" series, this text represents a collection of essays by, and about, Benito Perez Galdos, which aim to trace the historical development of criticism on Galdos and examine the ways recent scholars have applied the insights of critical theory to his work.
