The Cambridge Companion to
Modern Spanish Culture
This book offers a comprehensive account of modern Spanish
culture, tracing its dramatic and often unexpected
developments 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, theater,
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.
