In stock
The Twentieth-Century Philippines in Ten Novels: Literature as History (1913-1975) by the distinguished critic, scholar, writer, and translator, Soledad S. Reyes, analyzes and interprets ten Tagalog novels, providing frest insights while also explaining the significance behind their historial and cultural contexts.
The book is composed of ten essays, one essay per novel, published between the periods of American colonialism, the Commonwealth Era, freedom and reconstruction after World War II, and Ferdinand E. Marcos's dictatorship. It shows the poer of literature to depict narratives, experiences, and points of view that are difficult--if not impossible to adhieve, in straight historical accounts. The novels presented in this book are not just mere reenactments of important historical moments, but magnificent works that show the storytelling brilliance and personal interpretations of the novelist about certain important events in the country's history.
In shedding light on ten Tagalog novels, Reyes has succeeded in providing an interpretation of Philippine history based, in part, on the perspectives, insights, experiences, struggles, and imagination of the novelists as well as the characters present in each of the novels. The book is yet again a testament to Reyes's vast knowledge and erudition about Philippine literature and culture, a result of her decades of scholarly dedication.
