Zusammenfassung
In post-Franco Spain the artist novel began to proliferate for the first time in a century, but these novels have received little critical attention. This book studies a selection of authors whose largely realist novels portray a clash between the myth of artistic freedom and artists' willing recruitment by market forces or political influence.
