Transforming Legacies
For the past 150 years at least, scholars have contested the nature of the legacy of Spain’s Islamic past. Some have dismissed al-Andalus’s relevance to modern Spain, asserting it made a negligible impact on modern Spain. Spain’s history is, by this view, Visigothic and Christian, forged in the struggle against Islam but owing little to it. Others argue that modern Spain owes much to the Islamic civilization of the Iberian Peninsula, that it is a…

Representing and accounting for the expulsion of the Sephardic Jews in contemporary Spanish historical fiction
The expulsion of the Jews from the Christian kingdoms of Castile and Aragon in 1492 by Isabel I of Castile and Fernando II of Aragon is an event from Spain’s mediaeval past that continues to stimulate scholarly controversy.

This paper examines the portrayal of the expulsion in four Spanish historical novels published around the turn of t…

The Afterlife of Traumatic Memories
This article examines Antonio Muñoz Molina's Sefarad (2001), a novel which centres on memory and remembering traumatic events of the past. The article analyses the role which literature can play in transmitting memories of trauma to future generations when no eyewitness remain. By re-presenting histories, memories and memoirs in his text, Muñoz Molina attempts to bear witness to the past in a new way. This act of witnessing is made possible by th…
