La novelística de Benjamín Jarnés en el primer exilio: hacia La novia del viento

Abstract

In this article, the author aims to analyse La novia del viento, the first novel by the vanguard spanish novelist Benjamín Jarnés, published during his Mexican exile in 1940. Based in an old story first-published in 1926, La novia del viento marks an axis between his so-called "deshumanized" writing before the civil war and his exile production, drawing a continous line with the short stories written during the war. This article tries to open a way to the study of Jarnés' exile writing, most of it forgotten nowadays, and it means rescuring a very significant part of the most important novelist in the spanish vanguard tradition.
