Facultad de Filología, 2022-03-15) Granell Sales, Carles; Llorens Cubedo, DidacEven though anthologies are an inherent part of literary history, to date there is not a systematised study of their structural principles. Yet anthologies usually are accompanied by prefaces written by the editor where the rationale is justified. Thus, the prefaces of some of the most relevant anthologies of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as the three editions of The Oxford Book of English Verse or The Norton Anthology of Poetry, have been analysed to inductively extract the main constituting elements of anthologies. These are the language in which poems are written, the literary tradition and national boundaries taken into account, the genre of the poems, the historical or authorial chronological order, the aim, function, and anthology of translations El gran vent i les heures differs from the analysed anthologies in that, according to the Catalan anthologist, it does not try to choose a representative sample of a tradition; it is a personal anthology that does not aim at being systematic (Manent, El gran vent 12; emphasis added). Nonetheless, a detailed study of the anthology leads to the opposite conclusion that it is indeed a systematic anthology imagery which synthesises the ideas of the previous critics, El gran vent is said to be actually systematic and organised according to four archetypal categories, namely nature as Eden, death as the great equaliser, love as unity, and war as conflict, and a fifth category of poems s argument that El gran vent might be translator, poet, critic, and anthologistPublicación Female empowerment through death: Women's journey from subalternity to self-realization in Poe's Gothic tales(2025-06) Del Pozo Muñoz, María; Llorens Cubedo, DidacDue to his exploitation of the theme of female death, Edgar Allan Poe has often been branded a misogynist and a supporter of the patriarchal ideology that dominated the first half of nineteenth-century America. However, an alternative reading of Poe's gothic tales might reveal quite the opposite: a deeply tormented and frustrated man who empathized with the female subaltern and who found in literature an incendiary platform to channel a harsh social critique against the discrimination and denigration suffered by contemporary women. Therefore, in order to debunk traditionally held perspectives on Poe, the primary aim of this study will be to analyze how the author portrayed the dialectical conflict that conditioned gender relationships in his contemporary society, by redefining death as a virgin space for female self-transformation and a place for women to reclaim their long deprived agency and to gain empowerment. Therefore, the present dissertation aims to explore Poe's gothic heroines' transitional journey from submission to full self-realization, by exploring the detrimental and castrating effects that the legitimate patriarchal discourse had on both women and men.Publicación Intermediality of Music and Literature. Echoes of Interwar British Music in Works of J.B. Priestley(Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España). Facultad de Filología., 2023-10-17) Rebollo Calvo, María Isabel; Llorens Cubedo, DidacJ.B. Priestley was a prolific writer over a long life as well as a multi-faceted personality. In recent years, studies have focused on his time plays, his views on politics, Englishness and on national identity, but seldom on Priestley’s close connections with and involvement in the world of music, which intersected with his literary writing on so many occasions. The aim of this essay is to offer an analysis of Priestley’s employment of music as a literary device enhancing both his works’ entertainment value and the social messages carried by his plays and novels produced during the interwar and post-Second World War years. A special focus is applied to two pivotal works in this respect: the novel The Good Companions (1929) and the play Music at Night (1938). Furthermore, since recent decades have seen the appearance of studies in intermediality of music and literature, this dissertation will explore the theories of Wolf and Scher, and how they may apply to Priestley’s works. The whole is set within the cultural scene of 1918 to 1939 and into the Second World War, in particular the genres of popular music and other forms of popular entertainment, and classical music.Publicación Man of the Theatre: Stage Performances of T. S. Eliot’s Work in Spain (1949–2016)(Springer, 2021) Llorens Cubedo, DidacT. S. Eliot’s presence in Spanish theatres has taken various forms. His verse drama enjoyed a relative popularity in the late 1940s and in the 1950s: Murder in the Cathedral, The Family Reunion and The Cocktail Party were staged by student and amateur groups, “chamber” companies and even a national theatre. Reviews were ambivalent, most of them finding fault with the plays’ poetic density as an impediment for performance. Although, as a conservative Anglo-Catholic, Eliot was a priori an unproblematic author for the Francoist establishment and its censorship, critics loyal to Spanish National Catholicism were uncomfortable with the tragic fatalism of The Family Reunion, or with the non-judgemental treatment of adultery in The Cocktail Party. When Eliot’s plays were losing their appeal from the late 1950s onwards, only Murder in the Cathedral was occasionally performed in Spain. More recently, intermedial transpositions and dramatizations of Eliot’s poetry have consolidated his image as a great influential poet whose drama is a rarity.Publicación Un político venerable(Visor, 2022) Eliot, T. S.; Llorens Cubedo, Didac; Gibert Maceda, María Teresa; Soláns García, MariángelPublicación "Quite another thing": Irlanda en la obra completa de Oscar Wilde(Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España). Escuela Internacional de Doctorado. Programa de Doctorado en Filología: estudios lingüísticos y literarios, 2020-12-11) Guerrero García, María Cristina; Llorens Cubedo, DidacPodría sorprender que hasta la década de 1990, casi un siglo después de su muerte, la obra de un autor dublinés llamado Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie no fuera estudiada desde el prisma de la influencia de Irlanda, ni siquiera por corrientes como el biographical criticism. Más conocido como Oscar Wilde, fueron sus exitosas society comedies y su controvertida novela "The Picture of Dorian Gray" los textos que más interés han generado hasta el momento, siempre vistos como ejemplos de la sátira wildeana y de su pose esteticista. Nuestro trabajo ha consistido en, partiendo de una línea del tiempo, identificar los géneros literarios que Wilde exploró a lo largo de toda su vida y buscar en ellos huellas de una hipotética huella irlandesa marcada por su folclore y su tradición literaria. Sus años de residencia en Irlanda, su propia familia (toda de origen irlandés) y su contacto con políticos y autores irlandeses durante su exilio cultural en Londres en una etapa en la que el gobierno de Gran Bretaña en Irlanda marcaba la agenda política, le habrían llevado a sentirse un outsider en una sociedad que él llegó a acusar de filistea y a afirmar: “I am not English. I am Irish, which is quite another thing.”Publicación Salem 1692 and after: 17th Century witchcraft in 19th Century Anglo-American historical fiction(Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), 2025, 2025-07-11) González Criado, Almudena; Llorens Cubedo, DidacThe Salem witchcraft crisis in 1692 was a historical event with remarkable social, political, and religious repercussions which affected the future and the formation of what would be the new American postcolonial society. There are many documents and manuscripts of this episode which are preserved in the archives thanks to official and personal accounts written by the very participants involved —judges, accusers, accused, and witnesses. Hence, the Salem witchcraft delusion is one of the best recorded events of Colonial America. Some 19th Century American authors relied on these historical records to create their fictions with the intention to give their literature a genuine “American” topic. Meanwhile, in Great Britain, Victorian authors like Elizabeth Gaskell engaged with Gothic themes also based on historical events so as to put into context their present social and religious conflicts. This dissertation aims at demonstrating how the Salem trials of the 17th century supplied Anglo-American writers of the 19th century with an appropriate subject-matter for their fictions, which in turn allowed them to understand their contemporary historical, social, and religious background. To carry out this study, the fictions chosen will be John Neal’s Rachel Dyer (1828), Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables (1851), Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s Giles Corey of the Salem Farms (1868), and Elizabeth Gaskell’s Lois the Witch (1859). Each of these authors follows his/her own approach to shape their stories which will be deeply analyzed with the conventions of historical fiction in mind. Characters and events, both fictional and real, will also be explored through a gender perspective, taking into consideration the concept of “otherness,” and how they were historically discriminated and/or used as scapegoats, and subsequently, how they are portrayed in those terms in the fictions studied. The conclusions achieved in this dissertation will prove that, for these authors, it is a must to learn from history to avoid repeating past mistakes in the present and in the future.
