Weaving Tales : Anglo-Iberian Encounters on Literatures in English Hardback
Edited by Paula Garcia-Ramirez, Beatriz Valverde, Angelica Varandas, Jason (University of Lincoln, UK) Whittaker
Part of the Routledge Studies in Latin American and Iberian Literature series
Hardback
Description
This collection of essays brings together a wide range of Spanish and Portuguese academics and writers exploring the ways in which our encounters with literatures in English inform our assumptions about texts and identities (or texts as identities) and the way we read them.
Mapping, examining, reading and re-reading, fashioning and self-fashioning and, especially, weaving appear as appropriate images that convey the complexity and the nature of creative writing.
Such a metaphor has been fundamental for the history of world literature since the Roman poet Ovid had included a tale in his Metamorphoses in which weaving, narration, uncertain identities, and the risks of telling uncomfortable truths all figure prominently.
As such, these essays trace the intertwined patterns that knit texts together, weaving identities as well as undoing them and, in the process, interrogating established and official truths.
