Love of Nation and Women's Citizenship in Rosario de Acu�na's Amor a la patria -- Gender, Casticismo, and Imperial Nations in Spain's Fin de Si�ecle: Blanca de los R�ios's Sangre espa�nola (1899) -- Part Two: Compassionate Reason and the Monstrosity of War in Concepci�on Arenal's Writings, 1869-79 -- Concepci�on Arenal on Charity, Patria, and Painting War's Truths -- The Monstrosity of War: Concepci�on Arenal's Cuadros de la Guerra and Ensayo sobre el Derecho de Gentes -- Part Three: Honour, Dishonour, and Getting Intimate with Empire -- Fin-de-Si�ecle Female Writers: A Psychology of the Disaster -- Disordering the Imperial Home: Blanca de los R�ios's La ni�na de Sanabria (1907) -- Purity of Blood in the National Family? Spain's War in Morocco in Carmen de Burgos's En la guerra (Episodios de Melilla) (1909) -- Part Four: Between Feminist Aspirations and Pacifist Ideals: Carmen de Burgos's First World War Writings -- Reading between the Lines as Implicated Observer: Burgos's Essays on the First World War and Women in War -- Denouncing War's Broken Syntax: Burgos's First World War Novellas.
"The ways in which women have historically authorized themselves to write on war has blurred conventionally gendered lines, intertwining the personal with the political. Women on War in Spain's Long Nineteenth Century explores, through feminist lenses, the cultural representations of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish women's texts on war. Reshaping the current knowledge and understanding of key female authors in Spain's fin de si�ecle, this book examines works by notable writers--including Rosario de Acu�na, Blanca de los Rios, Concepci�on Arenal, and Carmen de Burgos--as they engage with the War of Independence, the Third Carlist war, Spain's colonial wars, and the First World War. The selected works foreground how women's representations of war can challenge masculine conceptualizations of public and domestic spheres. Christine Arkinstall analyses the works' overarching themes and symbols, such as honour, blood, Virgin and Mother, and the intersecting sexual, social, and racial contracts. In doing so, Arkinstall highlights how these texts imagine outcomes that deviate from established norms of femininity, offer new models to Spanish women, and interrogate the militaristic foundations of patriarchal societies."--
