Synopsis

Novelist-critic Leopoldo Alas's reputation suffered neglect and silent reproval during much of the twentieth century, especially under the Franco regime, but his reputation has now achieved classic status in Spain. Clearly related to this is the great increase in the number of translations - Julian Barnes called La Regenta 'the foreign classic tardily discovered'. This bibliography picks up where the first one left off in 1984. It is divided into primary material and secondary material. Primary material includes: Anthologies and Selections; Criticism; Novels; Short Story Collections; Plays; Correspondence; Prologues; Reprints; Translations; and Miscellaneous, with two new categories: autograph manuscripts and iconography.

Synopsis:

Novelist-critic Leopoldo Alas's reputation suffered neglect and silent reproval during much of the twentieth century, especially under the Franco regime. It is now at an all-time high. The author of this bibliography recalls, in 1978, searching over an hour for Alas's gravesite and finally running into a tiny, bent old woman cleaning headstones. Where might one find the tomb of Don Leopoldo Alas, also known as Clarin? 'I don't know the "senor" myself', she answered gravely in Asturian 'bable', 'but perhaps he lies over there', waving vaguely toward a mass of crosses, turrets and obelisks. Over twenty years later, no one has trouble locating Clarin's place in the culture and literature of Spain. Also clearly related to Alas's now classic status within Spain is his growing international reputation. The number of recent translations is astounding. Julian Barnes called 'La Regenta' 'the foreign classic tardily discovered'. This bibliography picks up where the first one left off in 1984. It is divided into primary material and secondary material.Primary material includes: Anthologies and Selections; Criticism; Novels; Short Story Collections; Plays; Correspondence; Prologues; Reprints; Translations; and Miscellaneous, with two new categories: autograph manuscripts and iconography.
