by NValis (Author)
In this thoughtful and compelling book, leading Spanish literature scholar Noel Valis re-examines the role of Catholicism in the modern Spanish novel. While other studies of fiction and faith have focused largely on religious themes, Sacred Realism views the religious impulse as a crisis of modernity: a fundamental catalyst in the creative and moral development of Spanish narrative.

A remarkable book that challenges the prevailing view of religion as a spent force that has withered away in the age of modernity and the secular novel. . . . Compelling. -Linda M. Willem, Anales Galdosianos
