| Description | Analysis of the works of the Galician-Spanish expatriate writer Sofía Casanova (1861-1958), poet, novelist, journalist, playwright, campaigner, translator, historian and intellectual, and one of the first Spanish women to support herself as a professional writer. The study also addresses the disappearance of Casanova and her female contemporaries from accounts of the emergence of the modern Spanish nation. The study argues that her transnational career demonstrates the inadequacies of existing models of national literary history. At the same time, recognizing Casanova's use of literary genres and techniques traditionally denominated as 'feminine' (and therefore excluded from discussions of 'serious' national literature), it provides a model for re-evaluating the vast cultural store of popular and sentimental literature as a key part of the debates about the transition to modernity, in Spain and beyond. |
