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. 606 $aSpanish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMotherhood in literature 606 $aMothers and daughters in literature 606 $aArchetype (Psychology) in literature 615 0$aSpanish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMotherhood in literature. 615 0$aMothers and daughters in literature. 615 0$aArchetype (Psychology) in literature 676 $a863/.640935252 700 $aSchumm$b Sandra J.$f1947-$01520979 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781730403321 996 $aMother and myth in Spanish novels$93759832 997 $aUNINA
