Applying recent European and Anglo-American feminist scholarship to the problems of gender representation, Charnon-Deutsch challenges the prevailing idea that the 19th-century Spanish novel is woman centered. The author's examination of novels by Valera, Pereda, Alas, and Galdos demonstrates that these works are instead a complex exploration of male identity. Decoding the gender ideology of women's roles, discourse, and representations, Charnon-Deutsch uncovers in the novels multiple configurations of androcentricity as well as voyeuristic tendencies, which she interprets as a means of mastering what is threatening to the male psyche.

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.

The second chapter provides general background information on agrarian Spain - the historical, economic, and ideological context of both La familia de Pascual Duarte and Los santos inocentes. While in most cases the texts refer only obliquely to the reigning ideology that is responsible for the plight of the rural worker, the history of the province of Extremadura, where rural poverty is and was a social and economic phenomenon, is crucial to the understanding of all four texts whose stories are set in this province.

El Cristianismo, abarca las iglesias: Católica, Luteranas, Calvinistas, la Anglicana y otras, es una inagotable fuente de fe que aglutina a casi la mitad de la humanidad. Esta creencia y doctrina se originó en las comunidades formadas por Saulo, inventor y fundador del Cristianismo; para la Iglesia "San Pablo". Saulo padecía del gran mal o epilepsia con crisis convulsivas más frecuentes de lo deseable. Se formó a la sombra del reino herodiano, civis romano, influyente ante los romanos y ante los judíos, jefe de la policía moral judía y persecutor de Yeshua bar Jehudá o Jesús de Nazaret, hasta su muerte en la Cruz. Jamás cruzó palabra con Jeshua, no lo conoció más que de vista y por lo tanto desconocía absolutamente su palabra y enseñanzas. Por su propia iniciativa se autonombró "Apostol de los Gentiles" o Apóstol 13° y fue el inventor y fundador del cristianismo. Más de 200 años después de su muerte, las comunidades cristianas se multiplicaron y se extendieron por todo el Imperio Romano. El Emperador Constantino I el Grande, la reconoció oficialmente, la vistió con la personalidad de Mitra y el mitraísmo y le heredó el poderío imperial con que vive hasta la fecha.
