The Literature of Weimar Classicism

Jose Quiroga

In this comprehensive examination of the work of Octavio Paz - winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize for Literature and Mexico's important literary and cultural figure - Jose Quiroga presents an analysis of Paz's writings in light of works by and about him. Combining broad erudition with scholarly attention to detail, Quiroga views Paz's work as an open narrative that explores the relationships between the poet, his readers and his time.

Understanding Octavio Paz

Lucile C. Charlebois

Charlebois describes Cela's childhood, participation in the Spanish Civil War, and life in Spain during and after Franco's dictatorship. She shows that in spite of the repression that beset his homeland during so much of his career, Cela successfully developed his gift for technical experimentation and creative renewal. As a result, he produced textured discourses that bristle with fragmentation and ambiguity, hilarity and profanity, iconoclasm and alienation.
