The novels in this study feature mature protagonists who recall their mothers as a way to define their own identities and to nullify the fictional matricide prevalent in post-war Spanish novels; this twenty-first-century fiction highlights the haunting presence of the mother and begs comparison with myth.Spanish fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticismMotherhood in literatureMothers and daughters in literatureArchetype (Psychology) in literatureSpanish fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Motherhood in literature.Mothers and daughters in literature.Archetype (Psychology) in literature863/.640935252Schumm Sandra J.1947-1520979MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781730403321Mother and myth in Spanish novels3759832UNINA
