Summary:

While the intricate relationship between history, memory and representation is of central concern in contemporary society everywhere, it is perhaps more alive in Spain than in any other European country. The seventy-fifth anniversary of the Spanish Civil War has reignited interest in this field: The Spanish Civil War: Exhuming a Buried Past contains cutting-edge interdisciplinary research by new and leading scholars on the political, historical, cultural and literary legacy of the war of 1936-1939.
