Book Description
Benito Perez Galdos (1843-1920) occupies a position in Spanish literature surpassed only by Cervantes, and, like him, made a major contribution to the European novel that is now becoming widely recognized. In a semiological approach to the second period of Episodios Nacionales, Diane Urey demonstrates the relevance of these twenty-six novels, the least studied of Galdos's works, to fundamental issues such as the relationship between history and fiction, and between mimesis and creation. Her findings of ambiguity, irony, and allegory in this writer's highly self-conscious historical novels will revise our views of Galdos's place in European letters while offering new insights into a general theory of historical fiction. Diane Urey offers an alternative to referential or ideological interpretations of the Episodios by stressing the indeterminate textuality of historical incidents and the fictionality of historical discourse. Drawing on Derrida, De Man, Foucault, and Hayden White, she applies a wide range of narrative theory to these texts and concludes that novel and history are interchangeable modes of discourse because they rely necessarily on the same narrative strategies. Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book Description
With the advances of Galdos scholarship over the last twenty years, the episodios are increasingly treated as works of fiction rather than as means of transmitting elementary historical facts to the ignorant; furthermore, characters' protestations are no longer always taken at face value. The present volume complements the previous study, Galdos: The Mature Thought, in which the twenty-six episodios written between 1898 and 1912 are examined in their ideological context.

Book Description
El escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges ha creado en su obra literaria estructuras que ya desde los años 30 y 40 del siglo XX anunciaban la posmodernidad. Su narrativa se caracteriza por relaciones intertextuales y configuraciones paradójicas. El resultado es un texto descentralizado y dialógico que no articula una proposición determinada sino que tiene el impacto de una interpretación multívoca e infinita. Que el carácter innovador de la literatura del escritor argentino procede de su ocupación con la tradición judía –sobre todo con sus técnicas interpretativas– es la tesis que presenta este volumen. Si se considera que la tradición interpretativa de la cultura judía tiene como consecuencia una recepción permanente e infinita, puede decirse que esta tradición no solo es compatible con la literatura de Borges en particular sino también que ha sido una fuente de inspiración para la literatura moderna en general así como para las reflexiones que sobre ella se han hecho. Participan en el volumen: A. de Toro, C. Deppner, R. Fine, E. Fishburn, E. Martín Ortega, K. Meyer-Minnemann, L. Nascimento. DR. CORINNA DEPPNER es actualmente becaria en el Instituto de Romanística de la Universidad de Erfurt. Su investigación postdoctoral abarca la literatura de Teresa de Ávila y Clarice Lispector. Trabajó como profesora encargada en la Universidad de Hamburgo y la Universidad de Erfurt sobre la literatura argentina del exilio y sobre tradiciones místicas en la modernidad. Su tesis doctoral se publicó bajo el título Transformaciones del saber en la narrativa ficcional. Encuentros literarios con la cultura del recuerdo judía en la obra de Jorge Luis Borges, Mario Vargas Llosa y Moacyr Scliar (2016). Otros campos de investigación son: Literatura de los conversos, literatura sefardí y la literatura de Jorge Luis Borges. En 2016 se publicó su monografía El Aleph – Una metáfora de la modernidad y su différance. Der argentinische Schriftsteller Jorge Luis Borges gilt als ein Literat, der bereits in seinen Werken der 30er und 40er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts Strukturen geschaffen hat, die später die Postmoderne prägen sollten. Seine Erzählungen sind insbesondere von intertextuellen Bezugnahmen und sich in Paradoxien verstrickende Narrative durchzogen. Die Folge ist ein dezentrierter sowie dialogisierender Text, der keine eindeutige Aussage hervorbringt, sondern in einer vielstimmigen und unabgeschlossenen Textauslegung zur Wirkung kommt. Der Band stellt zur Diskussion, ob ein wesentlicher Grund für Borges’ innovatives, die literarische Postmoderne prägendes Textkonzept darin gesehen werden kann, dass sich der argentinische Schriftsteller nachweislich mit jüdischer Tradition, insbesondere der Schriftkultur, auseinandergesetzt hat. Geht man davon aus, dass die in jüdischer Tradition kultivierte mehrschichtige Textdeutung zugleich einen permanenten, unendlichen Rezeptionsprozess zur Folge hat wird deutlich, dass diese Tradition nicht nur kompatibel zu Borges’ Literatur ist, sondern auch zahlreiche Reflexionen in der modernen Literatur und Literaturforschung angeregt hat.
