When studying the fantastic, even the most attentive studies have been biased by predetermined expectations. While theoreticians such as Tzvetan Todorov apply a universal definition of the genre to all western literary traditions, disregarding the variety among national settings and eliding the complexity of historical contexts, prominent critics such as David Roas or Baquero Goyanes have approached the Spanish fantastic as a mere reflection of foreign models. This perspective limits the Peninsular fantastic to a position of invisibility or dependence. Contrarily, I propose to return to the complexity and diversity of historical interpretations and to contextualize the existence of alternative practices of the genre, !ii which is characterized by the filtering of hegemonic interpretations through their notion of national identity and literary tradition. In the introduction, I integrate the critical reaction towards the fantastic from the perspective of Spanish authors within the frame of their historical period. I systematize the English and French pathways that determined the reception of the works by Hoffmann and also trace the persistent agenda to nationalize the fantastic in the first stage of the genre between 1822 and 1860. The project of nationalization is afterwards documented through three different manifestations frequently neglected. In chapter one, I study the crucial contribution of José María Blanco White, whose reflections upon the genre even predate the first official theoretical formulation of the fantastic mode by Walter Scott. In addition, I claim that Blanco’s proposal to recover the Arabic tradition had a direct impact on subsequent authors in Spain (Jorge Montgomery, Serafín Estébanez Calderón) and abroad (Washington Irving). In chapter two, I explore the centrality of the fantastic, as defined by Walter Scott and Enrique Gil, in the development of Antonio Ros de Olano’s short non-mimetic fiction and his later reutilization of the Spanish Baroque, Cervantes and Quevedo, in the creation of his “bizarre tales” or “cuentos estrambóticos.” In chapter three, I analyze how Pedro Antonio de Alarcón offers a different strategy of nationalization of the fantastic by re-appropriating the picaresque tradition within the realm of the natural world and by linking his tale to Christian eschatology within the sphere of the supernatural. Finally, in the conclusion I reflect upon the implications and further applicability of my research, specifically from the perspective of the comparative analysis of peripheral literatures and the future of Iberian Studies. !iii The Dissertation of Juan Jesús Payán Martín is approved Barbara Fuchs Efraín Kristal Charlene Villaseñor-Black Jesús Torrecilla, Committee Chair University of California, Los Angeles 2015 !iv To Robin, for coming into my life night-blue, wine-red, at the time when LA had lost its limelights; for being the place called home when all homes vanished; for saving Sisyphus, at loss and at defeat.

Muy lejos queda en la memoria el prejuicio realista de Ramón Menéndez Pidal, quien en las páginas de hace casi un siglo considerara “la escasez de lo maravilloso” como un “hecho indisputable a pesar del empeño de algunos críticos en desmentirlo” (“Algunos caracteres” 226).1 Tras la profunda reconsideración elaborada en las últimas décadas, difícilmente hoy día podrían suscribirse tales juicios.2 Conviene recordar, en todo caso, que esta revalorización sin paliativos de la ficción fantástica constituye un fenómeno reciente, intensificado en los últimos años.

  • Mary Shelley
    Mary Shelley Early Life Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley was born on August 30, 1797, the daughter of two prominent radical thinkers of the Enlightenment. Her mother was the feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and her father was the political philosopher William Godwin, best known for An Inquiry Concerning Political Justice. Unfortunately, Wollstonecraft died just ten days after her daughter’s birth. Mary was raised by her father and stepmother Mary Jane Clairmont. When she was 16 years old, Mary fell in love with the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who visited her father’s house frequently. They eloped to France, as Shelley was already married. They eventually married after two years when Shelley’s wife Harriet committed suicide. The Writing of Frankenstein In the summer of 1816, the Shelleys rented a villa close to that of Lord Byron in Switzerland. The weather was bad (Mary Shelley described it as “wet, ungenial” in her 1831 introduction to Frankenstein), due to a 1815 eruption of a volcano in Indonesia that disrupted weather patterns around the world. Stuck inside much of the time, the company, including Byron, the Shelleys, Mary’s stepsister Claire Clairmont, and Byron’s personal physician John Polidori, entertained themselves with reading stories from Fantasmagoriana, a collection of German ghost stories. Inspired by the stories, the group challenged themselves to write their own ghost stories. The only two to complete their stories were Polidori, who published The Vampyre in 1819, and Mary Shelley, whose Frankenstein went on to become one of the most popular Gothic tales of all time.

  • An Introduction to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
    An Introduction to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein By Stephanie Forward Cover illustration courtesy of Stephen Collins This eBook was produced by OpenLearn - The home of free learning from The Open University. It is made available to you under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence. ‘I busied myself to think of a story…One which would speak to the mysterious fears of our nature, and awaken thrilling horror—one to make the reader dread to look round, to curdle the blood, and quicken the beatings of the heart.’ (From Mary Shelley’s Introduction to the 1831 edition of Frankenstein). The life of Mary Shelley (1797- 1851) Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born in London on 30 August 1797, to the radical feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and the philosopher William Godwin. Her mother died as a result of complications following the birth, and after Godwin’s second marriage Mary was brought up with two stepsiblings, a half-sister (Fanny Imlay), and a half-brother (named William, after their father). Their home in Holborn was located near the candlelit abattoirs under Smithfield: indeed, the children could hear the screams of animals being slaughtered. On a more positive note Mary benefited from a broad education, enhanced by visits to the household from literary luminaries including William Hazlitt, Charles Lamb and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. At the age of ten she had an amusing poem published: Mounseer Nongtongpaw; or, The Discoveries of John Bull in a Trip to Paris. Unfortunately her relationship with her stepmother was far from cordial, and the onset of eczema when Mary was thirteen may have been partly psychosomatic.

  • Retrospective Posthumanism: Frankenstein According to Our Vocabulary
    Retrospective Posthumanism: Frankenstein According to Our Vocabulary Sara Martín © Sara Martín, 2021 Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Abstract: Mary Shelley conceived Frankenstein as a Gothic horror story. However, Brian Aldiss claimed in 1973 that her novel is the true originator of science fiction—a 1920s label of which she could not be aware. Also in the 1970s, ‘posthumanism’ emerged as the critical current that might replace humanism. The word ‘posthuman’, though, had first appeared in a 1936 novella by H.P. Lovecraft. Because of this changing vocabulary Frankenstein must be re-read retrospectively (though not unproblematically) without neglecting its Gothic origins, as pioneering fiction about the creation of a posthuman individual, even of a whole posthuman species. In this article I argue that, nonetheless, the new posthuman re-reading should not obscure Mary Shelley’s intention to characterize her monster as an abject creature intended to produce intense fear and terror in her readers. This is an affect that has been lost in the contemporary academic treatment of the creature as a being dispossessed of his rights as a living individual. Keywords: Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, Gothic, science fiction, posthumanism 1. Frankenstein as a Gothic text: her husband Percy, and Claire Clairmont Horror and technophobia (the daughter of Mary’s step-mother), were frequent visitors at Villa Diodati on In her Introduction to the second edition the shores of Lake Geneva, where Lord of Frankenstein (original publication Byron was staying at the time with his 1818)—published in 1831 by Colburn & personal physician, John Polidori. The Bentley within their Standard Novels Shelleys were in Switzerland at the collection—Mary Shelley (1797-1851) request of Claire, who was then pregnant narrated the genesis of her novel, thus by Byron; she would give birth to their establishing the enduring Romantic myth daughter Allegra in early 1817.

  • The Invention of Mary Shelley: Fictional Representations of Mary Shelley in the Twentieth Century
    The Invention of Mary Shelley: Fictional Representations of Mary Shelley in the Twentieth Century Selina Packard Goldsmiths College Submitted for the degree of PhD in the University of London Abstract This thesis is an examination of fictional representations of the life of Mary Shelley. As such it forms a contribution to two main areas of study: the postmodern debate about the relationship between fictional and factual discourses, and also to the perception of Mary Shelley in criticism. Chapter 1 constitutes a historical survey of the biographies of Mary Shelley, from her death to the present, which are the factual sources for most of the fictional texts examined in the thesis. Chapter 2 goes on to examine the prose fictions in which Mary Shelley appears as a fictional character in the years from the 1930s to the 1960s. In these we find her determined by her role as wife to Percy Bysshe Shelley, and she is thus presented as the standard heroine of romance fiction. In Chapter 3, study of later prose fictions from the 1960s to the present reveals a figure determined more by her role as author of Frankenstein. In Chapter 4, I look at her representation on stage, and show how her persona is determined by developments in late twentieth-century theatre, and she thus becomes beleaguered wife to the radical Percy. In Chapter 5, which looks at her presentation on screen, it is her visual appearance that is the dominant force in her construction, and she appears as Pandora, beautiful but deadly releaser of evils. Finally, in Chapter 6, which looks at the more unusual media in which she has appeared as a fictional character, her construction as mother to Frankenstein, birther of literary monsters, is foregrounded.

Used with permission. 164 PLL Diane Long Hoeveler More Gothic Gold: The Sadleir-Black Chapbook Collection at the University of Virginia Library DIANE LONG HOEVELER “Gothic Gold: The Sadleir-Black Collection of Gothic Fic- tion” was one of Fred Frank’s favorite articles, and he wrote to me shortly after it was published to tell me how much he had enjoyed his time surveying the collection in Charlottesville, VA. When I decided to follow in his footsteps and spend the month of August 2009 working in the collection, I sent an email to Nancy Frank, telling her how keenly I felt Fred’s presence while I was working there. She wrote back saying, “Fred’s ghost must be haunting that place because he loved working there so much.” After Fred’s death, Nancy donated eight books in Fred’s core Gothic collection to the Sadleir-Black, and I had the pleasure of perusing his annotations in those volumes. But the Sadleir-Black has actually moved since Fred worked there and now is in the Small Special Collections in the basement of the Harrison Institute, to the left of the main Alderman Library building and directly across the street from the room that Edgar Allan Poe lived in while a freshman at the University.
