La poesía de la guerra civil española: Una perspectiva comparatista

Abstract

need to negotiate more within the prison. Garc ıa Madrid’s text is shown to describe more relationships than the other texts Fisher studies, which focus on the authors’ own internal struggles, and this is perhaps telling of the somewhat vulnerable roles these women had within the prison system compared to that of their Communist counterparts. There are several areas that pique interest and warrant further investigation, but, overall, Fisher’s work analyses the nuances of the prison narrative effectively and thoroughly. She recognizes these texts as a direct reaction to the Transition, and frames them within their broader contexts, such as the Communist life writing model and the need to confront the injustice that the authors were subjected to both during and after the dictatorship. The result is a fresh and valuable addition to the field of Spanish life writing, which provides a phenomenal introduction to these women’s stories, ensuring that their voices continue to be heard while also laying the groundwork for further investigation in this area.
