Publisher Synopsis
A serious, rigorous and original contribution to diverse disciplines: history, literary history and criticism, and Iberian Studies. -- Elisa Marti-Lopez Imperial Emotions: Cultural Responses to Myths of Empire in Fin-de Siecle Spain is a dazzlingly brilliant book, which weaves together theories of the emotions, archival research, and intricate textual analysis to paint a convincing picture of the multiple and complex intellectual reactions to the loss of empire after the debacle of the Spanish-American War. While Krauel does not downplay the importance to Spanish thinkers of Spain's 1898 loss of its remaining colonies, he dispenses with the stale shibboleths about the so-called "Generation of '98." Krauel's is the most original and thoughtful book on turn-of-the-twentieth-century Spanish writers since Inman Fox's widely cited La invencion de Espana: nacionalismo liberal e identidad nacional published in 1997. Imperial Emotions will be read, and it will have a significant impact on the field. -- Roberta Johnson Read more...
