Constancia De La Mora in War and Exile: International Voice for the Spanish Republic (Sussex Studies in Spanish History) - Tapa dura

"With the publication of this book, Fox hopes to revive the memory of a once famous woman and she certainly succeeds in providing a richer and more developed portrait of De la Mora than was previously available." - Brian D. Bunk, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA, European History Quarterly 39.2

Her fame seemed guaranteed by the compelling story of her life. She had been an aristocrat turned Communist, a celebrated author, and an international political figure whose acquaintances and collaborators included Stalin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway, Tina Modotti, Vittorio Vidali, and Anna Seghers among many others. Yet, surprisingly, instead of remaining a heroine of the Republic, Constancia de la Moras memory somehow faded from Republican history. This book sets out to explore the life of this privileged woman who unexpectedly cast in her lot with that of the Spanish people. Published in association with the Canada Blanch Centre for Contemporary Spanish Studies.
