Irony in Thomas De Quincey's works
2014
Studying the works of De Quincey necessarily leads to three concepts almost impossible to define: autobiography, Romanticism, and all-too neglected irony. Whether rhetorical, tragic or “romantic”, irony expresses perfectly the many contradictions of the opium-eater. As the rhetorical tool of conflict and self-derision, claiming both individualistic and community values, sociable and provoking, irony is the way to redemption as much as the expression of deep unease, a way of pushing himself forward, or of withdrawing into the background. Caught between Romanticism and Victorianism, De Quincey questions the limits of his own identity and his status as an intellectual, and exploits reluctantly…

Re-visitando a Federica Montseny : Una lectura de la Victoria y sus lecturas
2006
This article wants to be a close reading of La Victoria, Federica Montseny’s novel published in 1925, in order to achieve two objectives: on the one hand, to break down the clichés that normally appear in Montseny’s work –her “revolutionary melodrama”- as a perfect example of the eternal “ethic-aesthetic” paradox and, on the other hand, to point out the capability of this kind of study to dynamize the so-called “women’s literature” in the context of the XX Century Spanish literature.
Literature of the Americas in the making: U.S. writers and translation in Sur, 1931-1944
2013
This essay engages history of translation by examining one of its most important contributors: Sur, a literary journal that Victoria Ocampo ran for 45 years and 340 issues. The most celebrated Latin American writers of the 1960s ‘Boom’ unanimously recognized that their key literary influences were those that they had first read in translation in Sur. Specifically, the essay focuses on the translations of North American literature in Sur’s early years: E. Hemingway, M. Twain, L. Hughes, K. A. Porter, E. A. Poe, H. Melville, e. e. cummings, W. Whitman, H. James, and most prominently, W. Faulkner, are translated by J. L. Borges, E. Pezzoni, J. Bianco, R. Baeza, BioyCasares, and M. Acosta. Whil…
El caballero en el mar: don Pero Niño, conde de Buelna, entre el Mediterráneo y el Atlántico
2013
El artículo se propone repasar y actualizar datos en torno a la vida de uno de los más significados caballeros del otoño de la Edad Media castellana, cotejando estos datos con el avance en los estudios sobre su principal testimonio biográfico, que es a su vez uno de los textos literarios medievales clásicos. Nacido hacia 1378, Pero Niño, futuro conde de Buelna, se educó en el ambiente de la corte real, donde su madre sirvió como ama de cría del futuro rey Enrique III. Hacia 1430, Gutierre Díaz de Games empezaría a escribir sus hechos en forma de extensa biografía. El Victorial es un documento crucial para la historia de España y Francia, especialmente significativo para la historia militar …

Pero Niño contra els corsaris del Mediterrani: diari de campanya, aventura cavalleresca i construcció cronística d’ "El Victorial"
2019
L’article pretén actualitzar algunes dades sobre les campanyes marítimes desenvolupades per Pero Niño, comte de Buelna, nascut al voltant de 1378. Pero Niño va navegar entre 1404 i 1406 com a capità, comandant dues galeres, des de la costa berber fins a les costes ibèrica, francesa, anglesa i italiana, i fins a les illes mediterrànies. Moltes d’aquestes campanyes estan acuradament relatades en la biografia del cavaller, El Victorial, un text literari important i un document crucial, especialment rellevant tant per a la història medieval com per a la història de la marina europea. Al voltant dels primers anys de la dècada de 1430, Gutierre Díaz de Games va començar a escriure el relat dels f…
