Literaturas entrelazadas. Portugal y España, del modernismo y la vanguardia al tiempo de las dictaduras estudia las estrechas relaciones entre las literaturas portuguesa y española desde finales del siglo XIX hasta mediados del XX. La perspectiva utilizada se ilumina en el concepto de la Entangled History, adaptada al ámbito de la literatura comparada por medio del análisis de los espacios de relación entre ambas literaturas. Así, estas páginas conceden un lugar privilegiado a las dependencias, interferencias y transferencias entre las letras de ambos países, condicionadas en su historia entrelazada por las relaciones de poder y las tensiones que originan los heterogéneos vínculos entre ideología y literatura.
