Rethinking Rurality and Nature in Contemporary Iberia

Given the contemporary interest in rurality and nature, Dr Fernandes proposes to examine these topics in the context of Iberian literature, focusing specifically on recent narrative fiction by Portuguese and Spanish authors. Her analysis centres on the novels A Gorda (2016) and Um Cão no meio do Caminho (2022) by the Portuguese writer Isabela Figueiredo (b. 1963), and Cara de pan [translated into English as Among the Hedges] (2018) and Un amor (2020) by the Spanish writer Sara Mesa (b. 1976).
