Galdós: The Power of the Role and Powerful Roles; Conclusion; Notes; List of Works Cited; IndexApplying recent European and Anglo-American feminist scholarship to the problems of gender representation, Charnon-Deutsch challenges the prevailing idea that the 19th-century Spanish novel is woman centered. The author's examination of novels by Valera, Pereda, Alas, and Galdos demonstrates that these works are instead a complex exploration of male identity. Decoding the gender ideology of women's roles, discourse, and representations, Charnon-Deutsch uncovers in the novels multiple configurations of androcentricity as well as voyeuristic tendencies, which she interprets as a means of mastering what is threatening to the male psyche.Purdue University monographs in Romance languages ;32.Spanish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismWomen in literatureSpanish fictionHistory and criticism.Women in literature.863/.509352042Charnon-Deutsch Lou223159MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816757703321Gender and representation4093162UNINA
