Resumen
Modern fantasy and the work of Clark Ashton Smith have recently attracted the attention of scholars, in parallel with the increase of studies discussing the classical sources of the genre. This paper aims to determine how Smith’s abundant use of classical motifs varies from their classical origin and how he reinterprets them through his own pessimistic worldview. “The Maze of the Enchanter” (1933), when read as a dark version of the standard myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, serves as a starting point to understand the mitigation of classical motifs in Smith and their significance within the author’s aesthetics.

Resumen
In this paper, I discuss La Prose du Transsibérien et de la petite Jeanne de France by Blaise Cendrars, a narrative poem first published in French in Paris in 1913. The poem has raised seemingly intractable questions for many years, given its status as one of the most important modernist poems, and one of the most important poems in 20th century French poetry. As I argue, considering some of the issues from the perspective of cognitive stylistics, especially the theory of conceptual integration, may help explain how readers make sense of this complicated poem.

Resumen
This is an introduction to Cognitive Stylistics, broadly defined as the study of style from a cognitive perspective. Stylistics deals not only with the analysis of the internal linguistic features of a given linguistic proposition or a stretch of discourse, but also what lies outside the text, namely, author, sociocultural context, genre, and so on. It is founded on the main assumption that the function and meaning of a text can be interpreted in the light of its formal aspects, thus engaging with formal description and its relation to a given situation and a given cognitive context.

Resumen
This article examines the effects of the heteronormative gender binary construct on identity formation, by offering a comparative reading of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar (1963) and Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower (1999). With a focus on the respective protagonists, Esther and Charlie, the reading analyzes the characters’ deviances from social constructs, and the subsequent punishments and effects on their behaviors. The present paper seeks to demonstrate how rigid social constructs undermine the complexity of the human experience, as exemplified by the two novels, and for which they remain relevant contributions to the larger present-day gender debate.

Resumen
Poe’s “Morella” explores mystery and gothic horror. Pain, death and reincarnation are the author’s thematic pillars here. Also, the death of yet another female protagonist points toward Poe’s most favourite motif. The present essay focuses on Poe’s sources by revisiting instances of Hellenic allusions in the tale. To that end, this study should serve as a note on the extent of Hellenic references in “Morella” and the intertextual similarities between Poe’s work and Plato’s Symposium as it also delves into the reasons behind Poe’s indisputable admiration for Greece.

Resumen
Inside Number 9 has become one of Britain’s most famous anthological series nowadays. Inspired by Hitchcock and with an undeniable touch of gothic horror, its episodes have embraced a variety of characteristically British genres and some other influences beyond. This article intends to analyse three of those episodes that depart from Gothic undertones (“Zanzibar,” “The Bill” and “Last Night of the Proms”) to study the strategies through which its creators use intertextuality and other resources to vindicate a sense of national identity and union. With an awareness of the heterogeneity and polarisation of the nation, the series attempts to re-enact a different sense of reconciling Britishness through intertextuality.

Resumen
This article provides an analysis of the portrayal of the woman artist in Willa Cather’s novel The Song of The Lark while exploring the importance of creativity and art-making processes in the development of a woman’s positive self-identity, as is the case with Thea Kronborg, the protagonist of this modernist Künstlerroman, and with the author herself. Therefore, by examining the above-mentioned issues through the lenses of literary theories, as well as through art research and music studies, this article posits that Thea’s process of self-growth comes through locating the vocation of artistic creativity in music learning and opera singing in particular. This paper ultimately aims to prove that music is not only a genuine source of inspiration for musicians and singers, but it can also be a force that writers use in their literature to re-create stories and move toward richer self-expression.

Resumen
My essay will focus on the short story “Kindly Forget My Existence” from Colin Barrett’s collection Young Skins (2013). I will demonstrate that, unlike many contemporary Irish writers, Barrett’s depiction of the immigrant outsider—in this case a Bosnian bartender—avoids common stereotypes of representation. By juxtaposing the politics of the Bosnian War with the suicide of Maryanne, a woman once loved by both men in the story, Barrett invites a more inclusive interpretation of grief than has previously been offered in the vast bulk of contemporary Irish literature.

Resumen
Growing up in a politically and socially active household, Scottish author Naomi Mitchison (1897-1998) was a polymath. She had a curious mind and a great capacity to express her knowledge about science and society in her literary works. Her fantasy novel The Corn King and the Spring Queen (1931) takes us back to a mythical past, typical of the returning to roots and folklore of the Scottish Renaissance. However, she subverts the roles traditionally associated with men and women as she advocates for sexual freedom and illustrates the symbolic connection between the female body and the earth.

Resumen
This article, based on a qualitative methodology that includes in-depth interviews with 50 women from Mexico and Central America, who held the position of older sister and were prostituted as minors, aims to examine the vulnerability to trafficking presented by first-born daughters in dysfunctional poor households. We conclude that in poor households in Mexico and Central America, where parents abandon the role of providers, it is not uncommon for first-born daughters to take charge of the domestic economy and sacrifice their lives to take care of their younger siblings. This situation makes them vulnerable to sex trafficking.
