Title: Mirror, mirror on the page
First published: 2008
Description: "Spanish poetry written by women began to flourish in the years following the death of Francisco Franco in 1975 and continued well through the next two decades. Mirror, Mirror on the Page proffers an in-depth investigation of works by eight poets to demonstrate the function of the page as mirror." "Some of the works chosen for analysis are "canonical" texts in twentieth-century Spanish poetry, whereas others are less well known and less widely distributed in the lyric context. All exemplify different tendencies synchronically while tracing a diachronic shift in emphasis as women's position in democratic Spain has evolved and grown."--BOOK JACKET.
