Summary:"This book studies five women poets who wrote at the same time as the prestigious Generation of 27, but for the most part have been silenced, ignored, and excised from the Spanish literary canon. The poetry of Concha Mendez, Josefina de la Torre, Rosa Chacel, Carmen Conde, and Ernestina de Champourcin is framed within a discussion of absence and presence, seen as interrelated phenomena existing on the levels of both reception and text
The story of the relationship between these poets and their public is a complex drama of gradations of inclusion and exclusion. The textual interplay between absence and presence reveals issues of subjectivity, language, thematics, and voice
Combining many strains of feminist theory, Bellver explores how these poets create an environment of plasticity, immediacy, and vitality within their verse and how they deal with the psychological and ontological implications of unfulfilled desire, loss, and loneliness."--BOOK JACKET
