Chapter 5 Index of Mercè Rodoreda's Works and the Criticism
Although far from a household name, Rodoreda (1908-1983) is probably the most well-known twentieth-century Catalan novelist...This bibliography pulls together in one place for the first time the almost 200 works of criticism that have appeared during this 40-year time spread....The work is supplemented by an introduction to Catalan literature by Enric Bou of Brown University and a summary of the critical approaches to Rodoreda's works by the compiler. Also of value is a listing of all of Rodoreda's primary works, including translations and her lesser-known theater, poetry, interviews, and letters.
