Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, an extract from a collection of letters on the subject of literature, focuses on a lively debate surrounding the works of the popular Spanish playwright and novelist, Padre Isla. The author critiques Padre Isla's 18th-century novel 'Fray Gerundio de Campazas' through the lens of contemporary literary criticism, particularly in relation to the book's portrayal of preachers. Not only does the book provide a comprehensive analysis of the novel, but it also explores the broader context of literary criticism, challenging the notion that modern interpretations offer insights that are inherently superior to those of the past. The author argues for a more nuanced understanding of literary works, one that takes into account the prevailing norms and values of the time in which they were written. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable contribution to the field of literary criticism and is a must-read for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the enduring power of great literature.
