Spanish literature, a rich landscape of cultures, themes, and styles, has been influenced by Greek, Roman, Jewish, Moorish, and Middle Eastern traditions.

The diverse history and geography of Spain have fostered a variety of literary expressions, including Basque, Galician, Castilian, Andalusian, and Catalan narratives. Over time, literature has evolved with new influences from Italy, France, and the Americas, such as experimental styles, modern themes, and cross-cultural stories.

Now available in paperback, this is the first English-language book to explore the history of Spanish literature from antiquity to the present. María José Sevilla skillfully weaves together the history of Spanish literary works with the cultural and historical factors that have shaped their development and distinctive features, highlighting Spain’s ongoing dialogue with language and storytelling.
