The Cambridge Companion to the Spanish Novel presents the development of the modern Spanish novel from 1600 to the present. Drawing on the combined legacies of Don Quijote and the traditions of the picaresque novel, these essays focus on the question of invention and experiment, on what constitutes the singular features of evolving fictional forms. It examines how the novel articulates the relationships between history and fiction, high and popular culture, art and ideology, and gender and society. Contributors highlight the role played by historical events and cultural contexts in the elaboration of the Spanish novel, which often takes a self-conscious stance toward literary tradition. Topics covered include the regional novel, women writers, and film and literature. This companionable survey, which includes a chronology and guide to further reading, conveys a vivid sense of the innovative techniques of the Spanish novel and of the debates surrounding it.

Ramon Maria del Valle-Inclan (1866-1936), one of early twentieth-century Spain's most celebrated authors, wrote short stories, novels, plays, and poetry, as well as sui generis works that he called esperpentos, or theater of the grotesque. In much the same way that he cultivated style in his literary creations, he invented a distinctive persona when, having left his native Galicia, he appeared in Madrid in long hair, flowing beard, and pince-nez secured by a black ribbon, and in dress that was picturesque, eccentric, and, by some standards, outlandish. The Sonatas are stages in the life of the Marquis of Bradomin, a man whose very aunt calls him (in Winter) "[t]he most admirable of Don Juans: ugly, Catholic, and sentimental." The four appeared between 1902-05 and produced a mild sensation in Spain, a cause celebre of sorts, on account of the then daring treatment of forbidden loves. Each recounts the marquis's pursuit of a woman: Spring, of Maria Rosario, in Italy; Summer, of Nina Chole, in Mexico; Autumn, of Concha, in Spain, mostly in a Galician palace; and Winter, of Maria Antonieta, in Spain, in and around the Navarrese city of Estella. The prose is lush, evocative, and descriptions abound; and since the marquis's celebration of woman is single-minded and steadfast, fantasies also abound. While each becomes a self-contained episode, as well as a passage in the inexorable march of the marquis's encounters with Eros and Thanatos, they intersect through thematic unity as an aging Don Juan's fixation on woman proves to be an inquiry into love and the pursuit of love. In addition to encounters with death and the pervasive presence of religion (which means Catholicism), there are brushes with cruelty, homosexuality, satanism, and Carlism. Robert M. Fedorchek (the translator) is a professor emeritus of modern languages and literatures at Fairfield University. He has published eighteen books of translations of Spanish literature. This is his second translation for Juan de la Cuesta Hispanic Monographs. John C. Wilcox (Introduction) is a professor of Spanish at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He has published widely on late nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish literature, with particular emphasis on poetry.

During the final decades of the nineteenth century, a common mind-set emerged among many intellectuals--"la decadence." Many novels and novellas of the period were populated with protagonists who were fragile, refined, self-absorbed, and preoccupied with a trivially exquisite aesthetic. A Baedeker of Decadence presents thirty-two international works of literary decadence written between 1884 and 1927. George C. Schoolfield, a world authority on the decadent novel, offers an entertaining and wide-ranging commentary on this highly significant literary and cultural phenomenon. Schoolfield tracks down the symptoms of decadence in narrative works written in more than a dozen languages, providing synopses and passages in English translation to give a sense of each author's style and tone. Schoolfield throws new light on the close intellectual kinship of authors from August Strindberg to Bram Stoker to Thomas Mann, and on the ingredients, themes, motifs, and preconceptions that characterized decadent literature.

Arabs have traditionally considered classical Arabic poetry, together with the Qur'an, as one of their supreme cultural accomplishments. Taking a comparatist approach, Jaroslav Stetkevych attempts in this book to integrate the classical Arabic lyric into an enlarged understanding of lyric poetry as a genre. Stetkevych concentrates on the "places of lost bliss" that furnish the dominant motif in the lyric-elegiac opening section (nasib) of the classic Arab code, or qusidah. In defining the Arabic lyrical genre, he shows how pre-Islamic lamentations over abandoned campsites evolved, in Arabo-Islamic mystical poetry, into expressions of spiritual nostalgia. Stetkevych also draws intriguing parallels between the highlands of Najd in Arabic poetry and Arcadia in the European tradition. He concludes by exploring the degree to which the pastoral-paradisiacal archetype of the nasib pervades Arabic literary perception, from the pre-Islamic ode through the Thousand and One Nights and later texts. Enhanced by Stetkevych's sensitive translations of all the Arabic texts discussed, The Zephyrs of Najd brings the classical Arabic ode fully into the purview of contemporary literary and critical discourse.

Beethoven’s piano sonatas are a cornerstone of the piano repertoire and favourites of both the concert hall and recording studio. The sonatas have been the subject of much scholarship, but no single study gives an adequate account of the processes by which these sonatas were composed and published. With source materials such as sketches and correspondence increasingly available, the time is ripe for a close study of the history of these works. Barry Cooper, who in 2007 produced a new edition of all 35 sonatas, including three that are often overlooked, examines each sonata in turn, addressing questions such as: Why were they written? Why did they turn out as they did? How did they come into being and how did they reach their final form? Drawing on the composer’s sketches, autograph scores and early printed editions, as well as contextual material such as correspondence, Cooper explores the links between the notes and symbols found in the musical texts of the sonatas, and the environment that brought them about. The result is a biography not of the composer, but of the works themselves.
