内容简介
This volume examines the significance of probably the most famous year in modern Spanish culture. Following Spain's ignominious defeat in the Spanish American War of 1898, the country lost the final remnants of its once great empire in the New World, the Caribbean islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Essays focus on Spain's crisis of identity, the brilliant generation of writers who responded to it, the gap that the Cuban Disaster exposed between tradition and modernity, and the consequences for Spain and its former colonies in the post colonial era.
