T1 Lisa St Aubin de Terán: la otra aventurera romántica
A1 Oliva Cruz, Juan Ignacio
AB Lisa St Aubin de Terán’s works: Keepers of the House (1982), TheHigh Place (1985) and Off the Rails: Memoirs of a Train Addict (1990),two novels and a book of poetry, are discussed under the perspective ofa romantic trace. After a study of the magic realism and the exoticismof the South American setting of the first two books, an analysis of thethird is made upon the basis of its possible inclusion in the decadentliterature of the fin de siècle. The autobiographical references, thehypersensitivity, the literary narcissism, the treatment of the self, amongothers, are elements that contribute to situate this writer in the revivalof the realist literature of the nineteenth century. Also, the leitmotif ofthe journey as a way of evasion and the use of alcohol to escape fromcruel reality, transform the vital experience of an artist into a literaryrepresentation of the romantic paradox of sublimation and damnation,and lead to the contradictions of the author as prophet and martyr ofliterature and life.
