Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Aurora Caceres' compelling novel "La rosa muerta" was set in Paris where it was published in 1914. In a work sharing formal characteristics with modernista prose, Caceres challenged the ideological parameters of the movement. While her protagonist appropriated the modernista precept of women as subjects to male veneration, she also took active control of her sexual life in a world where husbands still treated their wives as objects. The objects in this novel are not people but implements of communication and medicine, reflective of the apogee of the industrial age. The action, which takes place between Berlin and Paris, is representative of the places that the modernistas held dear, but the feminization of the portrayal of male-female relations broadens the scope of the male-dominated modernista literary paradigm. The ideal men in this novel are not the husbands from whom women run, but medical doctors, men of science who are liberated from chauvinist attitudes. The central character of "La rosa muerta" accordingly falls for one of her gynecologists, allowing for scenes in the Paris clinic that must have been scandalous for the 1914 reading public.This novel's author Aurora Caceres (1877-1958) has been unjustly forgotten as an interesting adherent of the modernist movement.This European-based daughter of a Peruvian president wrote novels, essays, travel literature and a biography of her husband, the Guatemalan novelist Enrique Gomez Carrillo. Her life itself is intimately intertwined with Peruvian history, the War of the Pacific (1879-1883), the Peruvian Civil War of 1895, and an intellectual's exile in Paris. Her essays have recently begun to receive critical attention by scholars attempting to understand modernism from a gendered perspective. With its enlightened female protagonist, its scientific men, and its praise of technology (electric lights and pneumatic mail tubes), "La rosa muerta" appropriates modernista literary traditions and liberates them in a riveting narrative that will certainly engage today's undergraduate students. Its length (of only 80 pages), makes the text suitable for upper-level Spanish courses. The novel is especially appropriate for survey classes as well as for courses on the novel and modernismo, broadening the horizons for what have traditionally been male-centered reading lists.It will also be of interest to graduate students attempting to understand literary modernism from a gendered perspective.It is also an appropriate object of study for researchers interested in gender studies, the development of the novel, and in modernismo. This new modernized edition will be a pleasant reading for undergraduate and graduate students. Its Spanish has been updated to agree with present-day usage and it comes in a thoroughly annotated edition with copious footnotes to explain obscure cultural and linguistic turns of the text. The editor, Thomas Ward, also offers a complete introduction that locates Caceres in both modernista and Peruvian traditions. Ward, well known for his studies on fin-de siecle Peruvian authors, also suggests some avenues for future research. His selection of "La rosa muerta" will please scholars and students alike as the one-hundred year anniversary of this novel draws near.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Mujeres de Ayer y de Hoy. CÁCERES, Z. AURORA (Evangelina). Garnier Hermanos, Libreros-Editores, París, Francia, 1910. 344p. hardcover no dust jacket, boards lightly bumped/scuffed, solid binding, text clean/unmarked, sunned spine--EN ESPANOL--daughter of a Peruvian president wrote novels, essays, travel literature and a biography of her husband, the Guatemalan novelist Enrique Gómez Carrillo. Her life itself is intimately intertwined with Peruvian history, the War of the Pacific (1879 1883), the Peruvian Civil War of 1895, and an intellectual's exile in Paris. Her essays have recently begun to receive critical attention by scholars attempting to understand modernism from a gendered perspective. During the War of the Pacific, her sister was killed while her family was fleeing from the Chileans. Her father Andrés Avelino Cáceres, at that time a Colonel in the Peruvian Army, was mounting a guerrilla war against the occupying army. Peru (and Bolivia) lost that war and the Chileans occupied Lima, the country's capital. After the Chileans departed, now General Cáceres served in a variety of functions, as a diplomat in Europe, president of the Republic, and then exiled after a bloody coup in 1895. Andrés Avelino Cáceres Dorregaray (November 10, 1836 October 10, 1923) served as the President of Peru three times during the 19th century, from 1881 to 1882 as the 34th President of Peru, then from 1886 to 1890 as the 36th President of Peru, and again from 1894 to 1895 as the 38th President of Peru. In Peru, he is considered a national hero for leading the resistance to Chilean occupation during the War of the Pacific (1879 1883), where he fought as a General in the Peruvian Army. All of these events affected Zoila Aurora Cáceres, who was educated by nuns in Germany and at the Sorbone in Paris. She was known to many of the major modernista authors including Amado Nervo, Ruben Darío and Enrique Gómez Carrillo, whom she married. Besides her interesting life, she left behind political tracks and a wide gamut of writing. Regarding the former, César Lévano points out the following: she founded Feminine Evolution in 1911, in 1919 she organized a feminine strike for food, while in 1924 she organized a new organization, "Peruvian Femenism". She was a die-hard suffragist associated with Angela Ramos. Later she would work with the anti-fascist organization "Feminine Action". Unfairly forgotten Peruvian feminist writer Aurora Cáceres(1877-1958) has gained a new wave of readers in the 21stcentury -ironically, through her engagement of a literary movement, Spanish American modernismo, that denied women writers a place. Published in Paris in 1914, Cáceres's novel La rosa muerta, translated by Laura Kanost as A Dead Rose, stands today as the most influential modernistaprose work penned by a woman. In this audacious story of an ailing woman who initiates an affair with her gynecologist, Cáceres not only defies cultural conventions of feminine modesty to speak publicly about women's health and sexuality, but does so by appropriating the language of a literary movement that silenced women--50.00.
