 | The Sublime South: Andalusia, Orientalism, and the Making of Modern Spain The Sublime South: Andalusia, Orientalism, and the Making of Modern Spain is the first systematic study on cultural images of Andalusia as Spain's "Orient" and the impact they have had on nation-building and modernization since the late nineteenth century. While a wealth of studies have examined how northern Europeans from the Romantic period viewed Spain and Andalusia as Europe's Orient, little attention has been paid to how contemporary Spanish artists and intellectuals assimilated Romantic legacies to engage in an internal form of orientalism. JOSÉ LUIS VENEGAS is an associate professor of Spanish and interdisciplinary humanities at Wake Forest University. He is the author of Transatlantic Correspondence: Modernity, Epistolarity, and Literature in Spain and Spanish America, 1898-1992 and Decolonizing Modernism: James Joyce and the Development of Spanish American Fiction |
