"A scholarly edition of three stories by Carmen de Burgos (1867-1932), also known by her pen name of 'Columbine.' De Burgos was an influential journalist, socio-political activist and key literary figure in the cultural ferment of pre-war Madrid and is currently being rediscovered, having languished in relative oblivion during the Franco years ... The book includes the unabridged texts of the stories, vocabulary, notes, chronology, bibliography, 'temas de debate y discusión,' and a critical introduction. Confidencias (1920) is the fictional diary of a young married woman describing her first adulterous relationship and exploiting the narratological possibilities of the diary form. La mujer fría (1922) is a vampire story featuring perhaps the first pitiable vampire, or at least one of the earliest examples of this type, whilst ingeniously maintaining uncertainty as to whether the protagonist is supernatural. Puñal de claveles (1931) narrates a wedding-day elopement and was inspired by a news item, the so-called 'Crimen de Níjar' of 1928. Federico García Lorca drew on de Burgos's story and the real-life crime for his Bodas de sangre, but while his play is tragic, Puñal is bathed in a golden glow of nostalgia for the author's native Andalusia and ends optimistically. This collection will be of interest to students and scholars of Spanish literature and modern literary studies"--Publisher's description.
