Mother and myth in Spanish novels : rewriting the maternal archetype

Schumm, Sandra J. 1947- (Author). Bucknell University Press. (Added Author).

Summary: Remembering the forgotten mother is a major theme in Myth & Mother in Spanish Novels and reflects the current interest in the recuperation of historic memory in Spain. 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.
