Domestic Revolutionaries
Joseph Conrad was already well-known in Spanish intellectual circles before the translation of several of his works into Spanish in the mid-1920s, following a commemoration of the Polish émigré author in the Madrid literary review Revista de Occidente in 1924. Inspired by Conrad’s writing, the Basque author Pío Baroja collected a substantial number of his volumes in the library at his house ‘Itzea’ (in Vera de Bidasoa, Navarra), with several in F…

Reading neurasthenia
Foregrounding the assimilation of discourses about neurasthenia in Spain, this article analyses the literary representation of nervous exhaustion in Pío Baroja’s El árbol de la ciencia (1911) [ The Tree of Knowledge (1974)] through the interconnected lenses of gender and social class. By considering the cultural association of neurasthenia with social and intellectual status, and its differential application in men and women, the representation o…
Spanish Modernism in Context
Over the last two decades, the recuperation of Spanish authors in the development of Modernist fiction in a pan-European context has gained increasing momentum among scholars. Extending the scope of these critical studies, this article presents a comparative analysis of cross-cultural encounters and ironic journeys of development in Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim (1900) and Pío Baroja’s César o nada (1910). The study addresses three key strands: the qu…

Encouraged by the author's identification of his literaryinfluences—Dickens, Balzac, Poe, Dostoyevsky and Stendhal— little critical attention has been paid to transnational connections that go beyond PíoBaroja's interest in nineteenth-century English, French or Russian literature, but which instead coincide with his own novelistic apprenticeship. This article considers Baroja's anticipation of changing paradigms in European and North American pro…
