- 'Bodies of Disorder: Gender and Degeneration in Baroja and Blasco Ibanez' is a substantial book that demonstrates sustained research effort over several years. It presents original, rigorous insights into the ways in which degeneration theory and literary representation interacted in early twentieth-century Spain. Its complexity and depth are found in the interdisciplinary investigation of the authors' engagement with, but failure to consistently sustain, the cultural myths of degeneration that were so prominent across scientific disciplines and literature during this period. It offers new gendered readings of Baroja and Blasco Ibanez in order to challenge a range of existing critical assumptions.
