The subject in question: early contemporary Spanish literature and Modernism

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments I should like to thank the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation , whose generous fellowship greatly assisted in the timely completion of this project. Part of chapter 1 was earlier published as “Julius Petersen and the Construction of the Spanish Literary Generation” in Bulletin of Spanish Studies (2002), used by permission (http://www.tandf.co.uk). The translations, entirely my own, are intended to help non-readers of Spanish to follow the text. I want especially to thank my dogs (“gods” spelled backwards) who have helped me so much through the years: Alice (beautiful girl), Maddie (kind, loyal, smart), Truffle (who loved life so much), and Rudy (baby bear). Also, my new pals Dix(on) and Tux(edo). Last but not least, I want to acknowledge my grandchildren, Taylor, Cassie, and Payton, who are simply marvelous. ix The Subject in Question ...
