Spanish Women Poets of the Generation of 1927

"Adding another study to the ever-growing literature on Hispanic women writers, Cole (Coastal Carolina Univ.) brings to light a group of little-known Spanish women poets of the Generation of 1927. Often referred to as Spain's second siglo de oro, the group includes "more published women poets and writers than any previous generation." The nine chapters that make up this volume include an introduction, a general discussion of the poets, discussions dedicated to each poet, and a conclusion. As the verses included in the book reveal, these were talented, engaging, vibrant, intuitive women who presumed to walk where few women had dared. More important, despite familiar and societal opposition they persisted in their writing-- producing poetry that unequivocally merits their inclusion in the Spanish literary canon ... the volume is worthwhile for bringing these poets to the reader's attention. Graduate students, researchers, faculty." - CHOICE
