SPAN 473 - Women and Censorship in Contemporary Spanish Novels

In post-Civil War Spain, the prolonged tenure of Franco led to almost 40 years of strict censorship on the part of the government. The death of Franco in 1975 brought a cultural regeneration to the country, which was renowned for its literary innovation and fresh relationship to a new sociocultural context, especially for female writers and female representation. This course analyzes themes of oppression and social injustice from a gender perspective in the literary works of post-war novelists, as well as the novelistic representations of women undergone by Spain during the transition to democracy.
