The chapters combine close textual or visual analysis with attention to socio-political contexts, providing a textually rigorous and grounded approach to the material studied. Covering a range of Hispanic and Lusophone countries and their cultural artefacts, the chapters also provide a geographical coverage that enables comparisons and contrasts to be drawn, indicating broader trends that cut across national or regional boundaries. Similarly, the generic scope, with chapters covering genres as diverse as correspondence, travel writing, memoire, biography, cinema, and even museum narratives, provides a comparative approach in terms of how particular genres have developed and negotiated gender and identity over time. Philip Swanson is Hughes Professor of Spanish at the University of Sheffield. Claire Taylor is Gilmour Chair of Spanish at the University of Liverpool.
