Book Synopsis Wisdom of Eccentric Old Men by : Peter Anthony Bly
Download or read book Wisdom of Eccentric Old Men written by Peter Anthony Bly. This book was released on 2004-11-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bly's principal revelation is that Galdós deliberately and consistently used this secondary type to emphasize the significance of the major plot developments and to underline the strengths or weaknesses of principal characters. In filling these roles the eccentric old men develop from comic shallow types into more complex secondary characters, men of insight and wisdom, who occupy a pivotal position in the novels.

Book Synopsis Gender and Representation by : Lou Charnon-Deutsch
Download or read book Gender and Representation written by Lou Charnon-Deutsch. This book was released on 1990-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying recent European and Anglo-American feminist scholarship to the problems of gender representation, Charnon-Deutsch challenges the prevailing idea that the 19th-century Spanish novel is woman centered. The author's examination of novels by Valera, Pereda, Alas, and Galdos demonstrates that these works are instead a complex exploration of male identity. Decoding the gender ideology of women's roles, discourse, and representations, Charnon-Deutsch uncovers in the novels multiple configurations of androcentricity as well as voyeuristic tendencies, which she interprets as a means of mastering what is threatening to the male psyche.
