The border between fact and fiction has always been a porous one for Isabel Allende. Her acclaimed first novel, The House of the Spirits, began as a letter to her dying grandfather yet is filled with ghosts and green-haired and clairvoyant women; her memoir Paula, though ostensibly nonfiction, is a moving and highly imaginative account of her family history and the illness and death of her daughter, Paula. Even in the many interviews she has given, Allende has embellished the details of her life to captivate and charm her readers. She has more than succeeded. Around the world, readers have flocked to both her fiction and her nonfiction, making her one of the best-selling women novelists in the world today. Edited and with an introduction by John Rodden, a celebrated Allende scholar, this volume in the Critical Insights series brings together a variety of essays on this Chilean Scheherazade. Rodden's introduction assesses the phases of Allende's career and her growth as a writer, and Michael Wood, writing on behalf of The Paris Review, considers Allende's relation to magical realism. Amanda Hopkinson, in turn, provides a comprehensive biography of Allende and a measured examination of how her life has informed her work.For students encountering Allende for the first time, four introductory essays provide a valuable framework for studying her in greater depth. Beth E. Jörgenson surveys the range of critical opinions and the major strands of critical thought on Allende's work, and Charles Rossman's close reading of The House of the Spirits analyzes in depth the novel's setting, characters, and plot. María Roof compares Allende's use of the family saga novel to Maryse Condé's, and Carrie Sheffield describes the context in which Allende wrote her first and most popular novel, The House of the Spirits.Next, a collection of essays on key works and subjects deepens readers' understanding of Allende. The House of the Spirits is treated by Sara E. Cooper, who uses family systems theory to explicate the novel's major themes, and Barbara Foley Buedel considers the magical realist aspects of Eva Luna and The Stories of Eva Luna. Linda S. Maier and Cherie Meacham both explore Paula, with Maier focusing on how the memoir acted as a catharsis for Allende and Meacham relating the work to The House of the Spirits.Allende's prequels to The House of the Spirits—Daughter of Fortune and Portrait in Sepia—are then taken up by John Rodden and Nadia Avendaño. Rodden examines the autobiographical facets of both novels while Avendaño considers how Allende breaks down gender barriers in Daughter of Fortune. Linda Gould Levine extends Avendaño's insights with a broad study of how Allende has transgressed boundaries of race, class, gender, and nationality throughout her career. Vincent Kling seeks to overturn the common perception of Allende as little more than a popular novelist by revealing how she continually draws on myth, archetype, and paradox to lend depth and nuance to her writing.A quartet of essays then treat a few of Allende's lesser known works. Philip Swanson examines Zorro, while Luz María Umpierre analyzes one of the short stories, "Two Words." Don Latham discusses the magical realist facets of Allende's young adult novels, and John Rodden considers Allende's self-presentation in her interviews.Rounding out the volume are a chronology of Allende's life and a list of her principal publications as well as a bibliography for readers seeking to study this fascinating author in greater depth.Finally, the volume's appendixes offer a section of useful reference resources:A chronology of the author's lifeA complete list of the author's works and their original dates of publicationA general bibliographyA detailed paragraph on the volume's editorNotes on the individual chapter authorsA subject index
Isabel T. Kelly’s Southern Paiute Ethnographic Field Notes, 1932–1934

This publication presents the first volume (Las Vegas) of the early ethnographic field work of anthropologist Isabel T. Kelly. From 1932 to 1934, Kelly interviewed thirty Southern Paiute people— from southeastern California, southern Nevada, northern Arizona, and southern Utah— about “the old ways.” She filled 31 notebooks, made maps, took photographs, collected nearly 300 ethnobotanical specimens, purchased and shipped over 400 ethnographic artefacts to museums, and traveled more than 7,000 miles. Her notes comprise the most extensive primary ethnographic documentation of Southern Paiute/ Chemehuevi lifeways of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Although Kelly intended to publish these notes, she was unable to do so before her death. Fowler and Garey-Sage have now synthesised the first set of these handwritten field notes and sketches, providing organisation, commentary and illustrations to put them in context for the modern reader. Kelly’s data, most of whichcould not be gathered anew today, are offered here for the use of generations to come.

The source of the narrative energy that creates such absorbing stories. Allende's very popular novels have attracted both critical approval and opprobrium, often at the expense of genuine analysis. This sophisticated study explores the narrative architecture of Allende's House of the Spirits [1982], Daughter of Fortune [1999], and Portrait in Sepia [2000] as a trilogy, proposing that the places created in these novels subvert the patriarchal norms that have governed politics, sexuality, and ethnicity. Rooted in the Foucauldian premise that the history of space is essentially the history of power, and supported by Susan Stanford Friedman's cultural geographies of encounter as well as Gloria Anzaldúa's study of borderlands, this study shows that, by rejecting traditional spatial hierarchies, Allende's trilogy systematically deterritorializes the elite while shifting the previously marginalized to the physical and thematic centers of her works. This movement provides the narrative energy which draws the reader into Allende's universe, and sustains the 'good story' for which she has been universally acclaimed. KAREN WOOLEY MARTIN is Associate Professor of Spanish at Union University, Jackson, Tennessee.
'I said once that she could not die. She has died. My beautiful Isabel is dead. This is her story. The story of a woman - the most remarkable woman whom I have ever known - whom I loved from the first moment I saw her. It does not matter who I am, though my part in the tale will become apparent. I will simply give voice to the events which befell her, aided by her own words through extracts from her diary entries, in which her voice still rings as clear as day. For the lady is dead, and her earthly story is ended. But for you, reader, it is just beginning...'Brought to her aunt's estate to await her coming of age, the orphaned heiress Isabel Audley is eagerly planning her future. But when dark events begin to unfold she realises that her life was never her own and experience is something not always to be desired. Whisking the reader back into the depths of nineteenth-century England, Isabel Hope is a thrilling tale of danger and romance.'I was drawn into this irresistible book, with all its surprises and suspense until I couldn't put it down. Riveting!' - Caroline Laidlaw 'A truly gripping story that engages both your heart and mind through every twist and turn.' - Julie Constable 'A compelling and very human story about hope in the midst of darkness. Beautifully written.' - Jenny Morgan
Isabel of Castile, the august queen that united a fractured, war-ridden land into a unified country under a single religion and language after seven hundred years of war and domination, is the same sovereign who made it possible for discoveries as prodigious as the Americas, the matchless regent whose rule led to the ushering in of the Renaissance into Spain. And yet, her journey to the throne was far from likely.Torn away from her childhood home, the pious and observant young Isabel is brought to the debauched Court of her brother, King Enrique. But when political strife leads to civil war between her two brothers, the young princess must defy the tyrannical control of the king, escape manipulative noblemen, and save herself from being used as a pawn in an arranged marriage, in order to protect the future of her kingdom and marry the man she believes she is destined for.In Isabel of Castile: Making of a Monarch, the woman that would be hailed by the Vatican as "the Catholic Queen" maneuvers her way through the social, political and cultural milieu of patriarchal 15th century Spain, and establishes an era of justice, faith, and unity."A remarkable novel based on an intimacy with historical context, Nichole Christakes Dapelo offers a dazzling fictional account of Isabel's long journey to womanhood and queenship."--Dr. Teofilo Ruiz, Chair and distinguished professor of UCLA's Department of Spanish and Portuguese History "Isabel of Castile: Making of a Monarch is a well-written historical novel based on the adolescence and coming of age of one of the leading figures of the Spanish Renaissance. The author captures the essence and uncertainties of this turbulent transitional period in time, and recreates the key events and figures of this pivotal moment in Spanish history." --Fernando Dameto Zaforteza, Director and Professor of Humanities at Instituto de Empresa, Madrid
