‘There are individuals who are all façade, like houses left unfinished because the money ran out. They have the entrance of a palace and the interior of a shack.’ Baltasar Gracián

In the spirit of writing some posts of my own, rather than just boosting those of others, here's an image of the cover of my first book, Myth and Identity in the #Epic of Imperial #Spain (U Missouri P, 2000). In #EarlyModern #SpanishLiterature, epic had been sidelined in favor of lyric by the German philologists who studied Spanish literature in the 19th century. The decanonization of epic had to do with fashion, but also with the privileging of shorter poems that were more easily included in course curricula. My book attempted to breathe new life into five of these long-neglected texts and to show that overlooking epic is risky, for doing so creates a gap in one's ability to appraise not only the range of cultural practices of the Spanish imperial age, but also the purest expression of its dominant ideology.

@JonathanSheldon here's a video of me reading the opening of my speculative / Henry Jamesian short story "The Family Guest" ! The video includes a bit of context on the Spanish writer whose work inspired mine - Emilia Pardo Bazán.
