This course will examine the novel form in Spain from the 1940s through the 1980s. This period was marked first by the cultural and political isolation of the Franco dictatorship and then by a gradual opening to the outside world, culminating in the transition to democracy and an embrace of global capitalism. We will analyze the changing role of the novel in these different contexts. We will also pay attention to shifting narrative forms influenced by realism, modernism and postmodernism.
