Simposio Internacional "¿Es mucho hombre esta mujer?. De niña a mujer: Bicentenario de Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda" (En memoria de la Profesora e Investigadora Susana Montero)

International Symposium De niña a mujer: The Bicentenary of Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda: Homage to her Work and Life” (in memory of Susana Montero)

2014 marks the bicentenary of the birth of the Cuba-Spanish writer, Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda (1814-1873). She is regarded as one of the most important Hispanic writers of the nineteenth century and this symposium seeks to bring together a wide range of critical perspectives on her work with the emphasis on its generic diversity. Her work attempted to re-define the textual tradition from which it evolved, creating a place for her at the foreground of both Cuban and Hispanic nineteenth-century literary and feminine thought.

 

This international symposium welcomes papers that attempt to re-evaluate her work in the light of her status as a major literary figure deserving international recognition.
