Zusammenfassung:Imagined Truths provides a twenty-first-century analysis of stylistic and philosophical manifestations of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish literary realism. Bringing together the work of the foremost specialists in the field of contemporary Spanish letters, this collection offers new approaches to literary and cultural criticism and reveals how Spanish realism, far from being imitative of other European movements, engaged in complex and modern concepts of representation and mimesis. Imagined Truths acknowledges the critical importance of women writers and contemporary approaches to questions of gender. The essays address the impact of economics on our perceptions of reality and our constructions of everyday life, and they argue for the importance of emotions in the social construction of individual identity. Most importantly, they also acknowledge the post-imperial turn in literary studies. Addressing a broad range of authors, works, and topics, from the continued relevance of Cervantes' Don Quijote to Spanish realism's ability to move beyond narrative to inhabit the spaces of both theatre and film, Imagined Truths constitutes a series of meditations on new ways for understanding the unique place of realism in Spain's cultural history. Offering insights for specialists in a wide range of disciplines, including literature, cultural studies, gender studies, history, and philosophy, this collection is equally important for readers becoming acquainted with realist narrative as a central component of Spanish literary history
