A Companion to Miguel de Unamuno

Resumen del libro

As a novelist, dramatist, essayist, poet and public intellectual, Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) was a strikingly energetic and prolific writer, and a towering figure in twentieth-century Spanish cultural and political life. His work explored fundamental questions about existence and identity (both individual and national). Widely recognised and translated during his lifetime, he was an inescapably canonical figure on university syllabi across Europe and the Americas for many years after his death, and still appears on many curricula. This Companion surveys Unamunos work chronologically, analyses major developments and turning points as well as key themes across his prolific narrative, theatrical and essay output.

JOHN MACKLIN was Professor of Hispanic Studies and Head of the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Glasgow.
