Drawing on the autobiographical texts of Juan Goytisolo, Carlos Barral, Terenci Moix, and Clara Jan駸, the book explores how these authors understood gender roles and paternal figures as well as how they positioned themselves in relation to Spanish and Catalan literary traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnna Casas Aguilar contends that through their presentation of father figures, these authors subvert static ideas surrounding fatherhood.

Moving beyond the shadow of the dictator, Casas Aguilar shows how these writers distinguished between the patriarchal \"father of the nation\" and their own paternal figures. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eBilingual Legacies\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on the complexity of Spanish conceptions of gender, language, and family and illustrates how notions of masculinity, authorship, and canon are interrelated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Casas Aguilar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487545002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487545000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Anna Casas Aguilar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066025996543,"sku":"9781487545000","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6a5bff0-4c68-4256-bd37-6c17464c4711.jpg?v=1685404910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bilingual-legacies-anna-casas-aguilar-9781487545000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
