In 1955 appeared a pioneer work in this field ? Stanley T. Williams? The Spanish Background of American Literature . But that book went no further than W.D. Howells? Familiar Spanish Travels , published in 1913. The Last Good Land covers most of the twentieth century, including such groups as the Lost Generation and African American writers and exiles. It also considers then recent revolution in Spanish cultural and historical thought introduced by Américo Castro, which several American writers discussed in this volume may be said to have anticipated. Recent studies have expanded on Williams? volumes, but in the majority of cases these works limit their scope to a single period (the nineteenth century, the Spanish Civil War), a movement (predominantly Romanticism) or authors known for their interest in Spain (Irving, Hemingway). The result is often a lack of continuum, or the exclusion of such authors as Saul Bellow, William Gaddis or Richard Wright. Within American literature itself, The Last Good Land contains revisions of traditional interpretations of certain writers, including Hemingway. The variety of authors treated, both in respect to ethnicity and gender, guarantees a varied and global view of Spanish culture by American writers. 410 0$aCosterus ;$v189. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xSpanish influences 606 $aAuthors, American$xHomes and haunts$zSpain 606 $aAmericans$zSpain$xHistory 607 $aSpain$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xSpanish influences. 615 0$aAuthors, American$xHomes and haunts 615 0$aAmericans$xHistory. 676 $a810 700 $aSua?rez Galba?n$b Eugenio$0975497 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456737903321 996 $aThe last good land$92221262 997 $aUNINA
