An Anthology of Nineteenth-Century Women's Poetry from Spain

Anna-Marie Aldaz offers a discussion of Spanish versification as well as biographical sketches of the twenty-one poets whose works bring alive the first decades of women's emergence as a force in the Spanish literary world.

"This volume is a valuable resource not only for courses in Spanish and world literature but for the nonacademic reader as well. It is truly a treasure trove of significant but largely unknown texts, which, as a group, help us reconsider our notions about women's Spanish-language literary production in the nineteenth century and, indeed, about Spanish nineteenth-century literature in general." --Joyce Tolliver, University of llinois, Urbana "As a resource for the scholar, or simply for those of us interested in nineteenth-century women's literature, this anthology is, without doubt, of great value." --Metamorphoses
