Esta obra ofrece un florilegio de textos literarios variados, que desarrollan motivos fantásticos obsesivos relacionados entre sí. Se centra en los dos maestros españoles, Cervantes y Lope de Vega, que sintetizan un imaginario de lo extraño tan singular como universal. De la narración satírica al teatro barroco, muestra cómo se combinan lo grotesco y lo extraordinario para colocar al lector-espectador ante una duda fascinante fundadora de la escritura fantástica. L'Espagne doit-elle rester à jamais exclue des nations prisées pour leur littérature fantastique ? Issu du roman gothique anglais du xviiie siècle, le genre place au centre de la fiction l'apparition surnaturelle, point d'équilibre instable entre figure et spectre. Cette hésitation s'exprime déjà au Siècle d'or, vivier exceptionnel de textes fantastiques annonciateurs du genre. Plusieurs champs et auteurs sont ici abordés : les maîtres de l'étrange, Cervantès et Lope de Vega, mais aussi le roman picaresque, le grotesque allant souvent de pair avec le merveilleux. Comme les autres écritures, celle du théâtre baroque sait garder intacte la part de frayeur, d'incrédulité ou de « suspension » du sujet traversant le miroir de l'au-delà.

Departing from established structuralist or psychological approaches to the fantastic, Jos Monlecn offers an ideological reading of this literary product of mass culture. In an exploration of the origins and development of the fantastic, Monlecn traces the relation of reason to unreason in light of three distinct events that influenced capitalist thinking: the French Revolution, the uprisings of 1848, and the Bolshevik Revolution. The fantastic, Monlecn argues, reflected social tensions and produced a cultural space in which to appropriate fears brought on by the revolutions--to tame the "specter" mentioned by Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto. At the same time the fantastic helped carve in Europe a defense of order through the introduction of unreason as a viable discourse.Monlecn pays particular attention to the development of the fantastic in Spain, whose unique economic and cultural conditions form a distinct background against which to test his paradigm for the development of the genre in the rest of Europe. This study touches upon a wide range of works, including those by Bcquer, BazNBn, Galdcs, Alarccn, Maupassant, Shelley, Poe, and James, as well as etchings by Goya.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
