Status Updates From Spanish Literature: A Very ...

Finished Chapter 2: Spanish Literature and Modernity. Lots of interesting stuff about the fluidity of identity in early Spanish literature. Lots more books that I'd like to read but will probably find aren't easily available in English.

First chapter is about what constitutes 'Spanish' literature and when it began - looking back to pre-unified Spain, to Islamic and Jewish Andalusi, - and the different languages within Spain - Catalan and Basque etc - and then talking about Spanish exiles who wrote most of their work abroad sometimes not even in Spanish. There's a long list of Spanish writers I've not heard of so that's a rabbit hole for the future
