Bringing together the work of the foremost specialists in the field of contemporary Spanish letters, this collection offers new approaches to literary and cultural criticism and reveals how Spanish realism, far from imitative of other European movements, engaged in complex and modern concepts of representation and mimesis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eImagined Truths\u003c\/i\u003e acknowledges the critical importance of women writers and contemporary approaches to questions of gender. The essays address the impact of economics on our perceptions of reality and our constructions of everyday life, and they argue for the importance of emotions in the social construction of individual identity. Most importantly, the essays acknowledge the post-imperial turn in literary studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAddressing a broad range of authors, works, and topics, including the continued relevance of Cervantes\u0026amp;#x2019;s \u003ci\u003eDon Quijote\u003c\/i\u003e and the way Spanish realism moved beyond narrative to inhabit the spaces of both theatre and film, \u003ci\u003eImagined Truths\u003c\/i\u003e comprises a series of meditations on new ways of understanding the unique place of realism in Spanish cultural history.
