Las Romanticas
Author: Susan Kirkpatrick
language: en
Publisher: Univ of California Press
Release Date: 2023-11-15
A pioneering critical work that establishes the existence and elaborates the history of a female literary tradition in Spain early in the nineteenth century, this book will greatly interest specialists in Spanish literature. It also addresses those concerned with Romanticism in general, with feminist criticism, and with the cultural history of women. Who were las románticas? The first generation of Spanish women to conceive of themselves as "writing women," they made their appearance in the press around 1841. It was the apogee of Spain's Romantic movement and of a first wave of liberal reforms, and these women gave voice to their experience as women within the terms of liberal Romantic ideology. Susan Kirkpatrick examines the textual representations that link liberal ideology, Romantic configurations of subjectivity, and women's writing, in an exciting revelation of early nineteenth-century gender consciousness. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1989.

Talvolta, i ricordi ci sommergono confusi e imbarazzanti; ci proiettano verso un bilancio della nostra vita che non sempre siamo pronti a fare. L’età matura, se non proprio la senilità, con i suoi dubbi e le sue angosce è il filo che avvolge in una trama sottile le storie di Rosabianca, Lucia e Gloria. Rosabianca è un’esile ragazzina dai capelli biondi che ogni mattina appuntava una rosa bianca nell’occhiello del suo cappotto; potrà risolversi il suo mistero quando ormai l’età, sua e del suo ammiratore, rende irreversibili le scelte? Lucia è un’anziana invalida preoccupata per il futuro della nipote; la messa del mezzodì scandisce la vita sua e della comunità montana in cui abita con quotidiana certezza: può spezzarsi, anche se per un attimo, il sottile equilibrio tra la vita e la morte? L’Alzheimer è un killer spietato, silenzioso e infido; quando un maglioncino blu riaffiora dalla memoria, Gloria quale aspetto nel gioco della mente deciderà di assecondare? Marino Julo Cosentino si conferma fine conoscitore dell’animo umano, tessendo tre storie melanconiche ed emotivamente potenti.

Release Date: 2013-09-01
From Rosanna Chiofalo comes a sumptuous novel that sweeps readers from the Italian-American enclave of Astoria, New York, to the stunning vistas of Rome, and introduces two very different women—in a story of friendship, love, and destiny. . . In college, Pia Santore dreamed of going to New York and taking the Big Apple by storm with her younger sister Erica. Instead, Pia has arrived in Astoria, Queens, with a prestigious journalism internship at a celebrity magazine. . .and without Erica. Though the neighborhood has an abundance of appeal—including the delectable confections sold at her Aunt Antoniella's bakery—the pain of losing Erica a few years ago still feels fresh. Pia's arrival coincides with an unexpected sighting. Italian movie icon Francesca Donata is rumored to be staying nearby, every bit as voluptuous and divaesque as in her heyday. With the help of a handsome local artist with ties to Francesca's family, Pia convinces the legend to grant her a series of interviews—even traveling to her house in Rome. In the eternal city, Pia begins to unearth the truth behind the star's fabled romances and tangled past. And here too, where beauty and history mingle in every breathtaking view, and hope shimmers in the Trevi fountain and on the Spanish Steps, Pia gradually learns how to love and when to let go. For when in Rome, you may find your carissima—your dearest one—and you may even find yourself. . . Rosanna Chiofalo is a first-generation Italian American whose parents emigrated from Sicily to New York in the early 1960s. She is the author of Bella Fortuna and is currently hard at work writing her next novel. She and her husband live in New York City. Advance Praise For Carissima "What a glorious novel this is.
