Hers Ancient and Modern is a pioneering contribution to the study of women's writing in Spain and Brazil.From medieval Spanish authors Constanza de Castilla and Teresa de Cartagena to Teresa de Ávila in the sixteenth century, María de Zayas in the seventeenth, and Ana María Matute, Esther Tusquets, Carmen Martín Gaite and Cristina Fernández in the twentieth, these essays do full justice to the long tradition of quality women's writing in Spain. Complemented by fine studies on contemporary Spanish poet María Sanz and leading Brazilian authors Clarice Lispector and Lygia Fagundes Telles, as well as a survey of women novelists included in the Hispanic canon in the United States in the mid-1990s (Carmen Laforet, Martín Gaite and Matute), the book points the way to the full reinstatement of these authors and demonstrates the value of studying women's writing across geographical and chronological boundaries.
