One of the most popular works of the eighteenth century, Lettres d'une P�ruvienne appeared in more than 130 editions, reprints, and translations during the hundred years following its publi cation in 1747. In the novel the Inca princess Zilia is kidnapped by Spanish conquerors, captured by the French after a battle at sea, and taken to Europe. Graffigny's brilliant novel offered a bold critique of French society, delivered one of the most vehement feminist protests in eighteenth-century literature, and announced--fourteen years before Rousseau's Julie, or the New Eloise--the Romantic tradition in French literature.

Tales of Crossed Destinies: The Modern Turkish Novel in a Comparative Context (World Literatures Reimagined)

Azade Seyhan's Tales of Crossed Destinies: The Modern Turkish Novel in a Comparative Context, second in the MLA series World Literatures Reimagined, offers a much-needed guide to the vast, underexplored territory of modern Turkish literature.
Seyhan situates the Turkish novel in relation to such influences as the poetic and oral traditions of Ottoman Islamic culture, the early Turkish Republic, and Western Romantic and Enlightenment thought. She demonstrates that the evolution of the Turkish novel is inseparable from that of the Turkish state.
Readers will discover a wealth of Turkish authors, from those with international renown, such as Ahmet Hamdi Tanp?nar and the Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk, to others less widely read. Among them are Re?sat Nuri G�ntekin, whose Autobiography of a Turkish Girl prompted thousands of young Turkish women to seek teaching posts; Halide Edib Ad?var, who envisioned a harmonious coexistence of Islamic spirituality with Western ideals; Aziz Nesin, Turkey's master humorist, who instructs the reader in censor-resistant code; and Ya?sar Kemal and Adalet A?ao?lu and their blendings of myth, memory, and politics.
Appendixes provide a chronology, a pronunciation guide to Turkish, and a list of modern Turkish novels in English translation, preparing readers to embark on further exploration.

Approaches to Teaching the Writings of Emilia Pardo Bazán (Approaches to Teaching World Literature)

�Emilia Pardo Baz�n (1851-1921) is without a doubt the most prolific and influential woman writer of late nineteenth-century Spain,� write the editors of this volume in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching World Literature series. Contending with the critical literary, cultural, and social issues of the period, Pardo Baz�n�s novels, novellas, short stories, essays, plays, travel writing, and cookbooks offer instructors countless opportunities to engage with a variety of critical frameworks. The wide range of topics in the author�s works, from fashion to science and technology to gender equality, and the brilliance of her literary style make Pardo Baz�n a compelling figure in the classroom.Part 1, �Materials,� provides biographical and critical resources, an overview of Pardo Baz�n�s vast and diverse oeuvre, and a literary-historical time line. It also reviews secondary sources, editions and translations, and digital resources. The twenty-three essays in part 2, �Approaches,� explore various issues that are central to teaching Pardo Baz�n�s works, including the author�s engagement with contemporary literary movements, feminism and gender, nation and the late Spanish empire, Spanish and Galician identities, and nineteenth-century scientific and medical discourses. Film adaptations and translations of Pardo Baz�n�s works are also addressed. Highlighting the artistic, social, and intellectual currents of Pardo Baz�n�s writings, this volume will assist instructors who wish to teach the author�s works in courses on world literature, nineteenth-century literature, and gender studies as well as in Spanish-language courses.
