During the reign of Isabel II, the new Spanish novel was born, inspired by the deep fracture between public morality and private life. In the middle of the European debate on the legalization or abolition of the carnal trade, the infamous woman emerges as a modern heroine, specifically the prostitute, a symbol of the evils that afflict contemporary society. The presence of the public woman in the popular narrative will give rise to a well-established brothel current that will legitimize the incursion of literature into the spaces of private life and into the silenced female sexuality, a necessary fertilizer for the birth of the 20th century Spanish erotic novel.

Engaging the Emotions in Spanish Culture and History is a critical analysis of the cultural significance of the emotions in Spain from the 18th century to the present, stressing their historical specificity and social effects. The essays discuss history, history of medicine, politics, literature, cinema, television, art, photography, and new media. Rather than being properties of the individual self, emotions are socially produced and deployed in specific cultural contexts, as this collection documents with unusual richness. All the essays show emotions to be a form of thought and knowledge, and a major component of social life--including in the nineteenth century, which attempted to relegate them to a feminine intimate sphere. The collection ranges across topics such as eighteenth-century sensibility, nineteenth-century concerns with the transmission of emotions, early twentieth-century cinematic affect, and the contemporary mobilization of political emotions including those regarding nonstate national identities. The complexities and effects of emotions are explored in a variety of forms--political rhetoric, literature, personal letters, medical writing, cinema, graphic art, soap opera, journalism, popular music, digital media--with attention paid to broader European and transatlantic implications.
