Reading the popular in contemporary Spanish texts

"Reading the Popular in Contemporary Spanish Texts explores print genres that have previously merited little critical attention in Spain, despite their immense popularity and their role in shaping the reading habits of large numbers of Spaniards. This collection analyses the value of popular fiction for understanding contemporary life in Spain and assesses the sociocultural, political, and even economic relevance of multiple genres to the Spain of the last fifty years."--BOOK JACKET.
