  • Post-partum illness in Emilia Pardo Bazán’s Los pazos de Ulloa (1886)

    Gareth WoodARTICLEJournal of Romance Studies2025

    This article takes a medical-humanities approach to the novel Los pazos de Ulloa (1886) by Spain’s first modern feminist writer, Emilia Pardo Bazán. It examines the post-partum illness suffered by its protagonist, Nucha Pardo de la Lage, against a background of cultural, social, and scientific discourse that tended to pathologize the bourgeois female body as weak and unreliable. By examining the representation of Nucha within the novel alongside …

  • Everybody hates a tourist”

    Open AccessGareth WoodARTICLEJournal of Spanish Cultural Studies2024References: 1

    This article will examine ways in which three contemporary artists – the filmmaker José Díaz and the writers Gabi Martínez and Isaac Rosa – engage with la España rural as a would-be theme park. It will argue that pressure from the conventions of the self-discovery documentary (Díaz) or the nonfiction narrative of return to rural roots (Martínez), causes both artists to slip into depoliticized solipsism. Meanwhile, the satirical writer, Isaac Rosa…

  • Emilia Pardo Bazán, folletinista and ‘noveladora moral’

    Open AccessGareth WoodARTICLEBulletin of Spanish Studies2023

    This article seeks to understand how Emilia Pardo Bazán engaged with and utilized two iterations of creative writing - the folletín and the didactic novel - repudiated by her male peers in Spain's Restoration literary scene. It does so by engaging closely with La dama joven through publication history and close reading of the novella itself. It does likewise with the later novella, Mujer, while situating the discussion with a broad field of recen…

  • Sugaring the Pill

    Gareth WoodARTICLEBulletin of Spanish Studies2018

    This article establishes how the pioneering feminist Emilia Pardo Bazán sought to introduce to the Spanish public John Stuart Mill’s polemic The Subjection of Women. It does so by examining the Biblioteca de la Mujer series, the publishing project Pardo Bazán established in 1892 to spread awareness of the growing moves towards female emancipation in Europe. It looks at the frame provided by the other volumes in that series and their efforts to re…

  • The Naturalist Inheritance in Amor, curiosidad, prozac y dudas by Lucía Etxebarria

    Gareth Wood, Gareth J WoodARTICLEHispanic Research Journal2013

    This article offers an appraisal of Lucía Etxebarria’s debut novel Amor, curiosidad, prozac y dudas as well as of the author’s contentious position within the Spanish publishing industry. A case is made for Etxebarria’s work to be seen as an inheritance of Spanish Naturalism and the anxieties that movement awoke in late nineteenth-century Spain over the medicalization and objectification of human beings. It is argued that Etxebarria’s novel displ…

  • Unamuno's Late Reading of Shakespeare

    Gareth WoodARTICLEBulletin of Spanish Studies2013

    This article seeks to answer two questions. Firstly, why did Miguel de Unamuno support the Nationlist coup that started the Spanish Civil War? Secondly, how can the re-reading of Shakespeare that he undertook in his final months of life help us to understand his thinking at that time? Based on archival research carried out in the Casa-Museo Unamuno in Salamanca, this article traces the presence of Shakespearean references in Unamuno's final writi…
