Los periplos marítimos del Libro del rey Canamor y del infante Turián, su hijo (1509) y las primeras empresas militares en la India portuguesa (Canan…
2015
El libro del rey Canamor y del infante Turián, su hijo (1509) sorprende por el hecho de que sus personajes y trama carecen de filiación con cualquier otro relato en prosa de la ficción europea, por tener dos protagonistas persas y por la presencia poderosísima de geografías marítimas en el relato. Este artículo propone relacionar la publicación de la primera edición de la obra, en 1509, con la difusión de noticias sobre la colonización portuguesa en la India y, en concreto, con el asedio de Cananor (1507), que fue uno de los primeros y principales episodios bélicos en la bahía de Goa. Los orígenes persas de Canamor y Turián, sus periplos por océanos desconocidos, la presencia de Leonela (la…
La novella XI de Parabosco, posible fuente de Los esclavos libres de Lope (con la alargada sombra de Bandello al fondo)
2018
AbstractIn this article, I study a possible case of imitation between Italian and Spanish early modern literature, concerning a novella by Girolamo Parabosco (the eleventh in his Diporti) and a play by Lope de Vega (Los esclavos libres). After comparing their plots, I will demarcate their common motifs, situations, and characters in order to determine the ways in which Lope de Vega could have imitated Parabosco. I will also examine the different editions of Parabosco’s novels that Lope could have read in creating his play, with special attention to the possibility that the playwright may have used Il primo [-terzo] volume delle novelle del Bandello nuovamente ristampato. Finally, I study th…

“Though I was alone with the unseen, I comprehended it not”: The Relationship Between the Dead and the Living in Margaret Oliphant’s „A Beleaguered C…
2017
Margaret Oliphant 1828–1897 is best remembered today as one of the important practitioners the domestic fiction, with her “Chronicles of Carlingford” series considered to be her most enduring achievement. Oliphant’s other interesting group of works are ghost stories and other spiritual tales known as the “Stories of the Seen and Unseen”. A Beleaguered City, a novella first published in 1879, is generally considered to be Oliphant’s most successful supernatural tale. Set in Semur, France, and told by five different narrators, the story focuses on the inhabitants of Semur, who are evicted from their town by the spirits of the dead. This paper aims to demonstrate that Oliphant uses the supern…
Translations of Novels in the Romanian Culture During the Long Nineteenth Century (1794-1914): A Quantitative Perspective
2020
This article uses quantitative methods to provide a macro perspective on translations of novels in Romanian culture during the long nineteenth century, by modifying Eric Hobsbawm’s 1789-1914 period, and using it as spanning from 1794 (the first registered local publishing of a translated novel) to 1918 (the end of the First World War). The article discusses the predominance of the French novel (almost 70% of the total of translated novels), the case of four other main competitors in the second line of translations (or the golden circle, as named in the article: German, English, Russian, and Italian), the strange case of the American novel as a transition zone, and the situation of five othe…

“Something Hungry and Wild is Still Calling”: Post-Apartheid Gothic
2012
International audience; The postcolonial Gothic is now a mode widely covered by literary criticism, but South Africa has often been left out of investigations. This paper argues that only now that apartheid has ended can writers and critics explore how the Gothic manifests itself in South African literature. Showing possible connections between the postcolonial Gothic and recent South African fiction, it seeks to define a new category that can help define the contours of the literary field in South Africa: post-apartheid Gothic.
Evolución histórica de la autonomía de la voluntad en el Derecho matrimonial
2021
The autonomy of the will or power of self-regulation of relationships derived from marriage is a subject that is on the rise and that we can qualify as novel. More and more couples are opting to proceed making use of this power to self-regulate both personal and property effects derived from their union or its future breakdown. In the Spanish legal system there is no precise and complete regulation of the subject, without all these figures being equally legislated, although all are admitted without any doubt by jurisprudence. In recent years there has been an evolution of Family law, traditionally very reluctant to give space to self-regulation. Our Constitution marks a turning point by cha…
