The different contributions included in this volume deal with aspects of biographical writing and other similar genres (semblances, portraits, etc.). These articles analyze theoretical and generic questions as well as some of the most relevant examples of the genre – with a focus on those written in Catalan. In addition, some of the articles focus on the relationship between biography and national images (nation-building) from a sociocultural standpoint. The Research Group on Contemporary Literature from the Universitat d’Alacant has gathered contributions from several specialists in numerous fields and has selected a group of relevant works for analysis. In addition to studies on authors such as André Maurois and Lytton Strachey, contributions deal with figures such as Josep Pla, Domènec Guansé, Josep Maria Espinàs and Agustí Pons. Finally, some contributions pay attention to the biographical genre in the audiovisual arts. The volume contains contributions in Spanish, English, and Catalan.

The Cambridge Companion to the Essay considers the history, theory, and aesthetics of the essay from the moment it's named in the late sixteenth century to the present. What is an essay? What can the essay do or think or reveal or know that other literary forms cannot? What makes a piece of writing essayistic? How can essays bring about change? Over the course of seventeen chapters by a diverse group of scholars, The Companion reads the essay in relation to poetry, fiction, natural science, philosophy, critical theory, postcolonial and decolonial thinking, studies in race and gender, queer theory, and the history of literary criticism. This book studies the essay in its written, photographic, cinematic, and digital forms, with a special emphasis on how the essay is being reshaped and reimagined in the twenty-first century, making it a crucial resource for scholars, students, and essayists.

Volume 2 of A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula brings to an end this collective work that aims at surveying the network of interliterary relations in the Iberian Peninsula. No attempt at such a comparative history of literatures in the Iberian Peninsula has been made until now. In this volume, the focus is placed on images (Section 1), genres (Section 2), forms of mediation (Section 3), and cultural studies and literary repertoires (Section 4). To these four sections an epilogue is added, in which specialists in literatures in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as in the (sub)disciplines of comparative history and comparative literary history, search for links between Volumes 1 and 2 from the point of view of general contributions to the field of Iberian comparative studies, and assess the entire project that now reaches completion with contributions from almost one hundred scholars.

Este trabajo pretende ser un intento de coordinar e integrar, dentro de una teoría general sobre los géneros y las clases de texto, la descripción particular de los diversos aspectos del texto ensayístico y su funcionamiento en el marco de la Literatura, entendida ésta como institución que establece los principios convencionales y específicos de la comunicación literaria en el seno de una sociedad y una cultura. Para ello hemos postulado, en primer lugar, un cuarto género natural, el argumentativo, cuyos principios universales, comunes a otras clases de textos como la epístola, el diálogo humanista, el discurso, la glosa, etc., constituyen la base de la constitución textual y pragmática del ensayo. En segundo lugar, para perfilar y determinar la configuración global del conjunto de fenómenos que recubre el referente cognitivo de la clase ensayo en el marco de la cultura occidental, nos hemos atenido a la doble condición, histórica y pragmática, de toda clase de textos. Por ello hemos estructurado la materia en dos grandes bloques: el proceso de la constitución histórica del ensayo como clase de textos, por un lado, y los principios de su construcción textual (en los diferentes niveles: semántico, sintáctico y pragmático) puede constituirse el ensayo como clase de textos autónoma y distinguirse de otras clases de textos más o menos próximas con las que guarda vínculos de tipo genérico.
