LECTURAS CONTEMPORÁNEAS DE CAROLINA CORONADO CON/SIN PERSPECTIVA DE GÉNERO: LAS ESCRITORAS ESPAÑOLAS ANTE “LA FLOR ROMÁNTICA”

Abstract

Abstract: This paper focuses on the first mismatches observed in the critical discourse about the Spanish romantic poetess Carolina Coronado, considering them as early signs of the application of a gender perspective in the contemporary readings of her compositions. To this end, we consider the essays dedicated to Carolina Coronado by three Spanish women authors —Carmen de Burgos, Margarita Nelken y Alfonsa de la Torre— in the first half of the twenteenth century, and we try to explain their gaps with the standing critical tradition attending to their peripheric position in a male literary context as well as to the gender marks
