Religion and the Imagination in Modern Spanish Narrative
Noël Valis
In this thoughtful and compelling book, leading Spanish literature scholar Noël Valis re-examines the role of Catholicism in the modern Spanish novel. While other studies of fiction and faith have focused largely on religious themes, Sacred Realism views the religious impulse as a crisis of modernity: a fundamental catalyst in the creative and moral development of Spanish narrative.
Noël Valis is Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Yale University.
