Abstract
No resulta en absoluto desconocido que en las primeras décadas del siglo XX, precisamente desde 1900 hasta 1939, en España se inicia una época caracterizada por el florecimiento cultural y artístico en la que la mujer se incorpora al ámbito laboral y empieza a adquirir ciertos derechos de los que hasta entonces no gozaba. Tales cambios la llevan a desempeñar un papel eficaz en el ámbito político, cultural y social, superando los impedimentos convencionales que la mantienen al margen de la sociedad, dedicada exclusivamente al entorno familiar y el sagrado deber conyugal y maternal. A partir de 1914, debido a la incorporación femenina al campo laboral, el asociacionismo y las reivindicaciones vinculadas a la emancipación, empieza un momento de gran esplendor y toda la sociedad española experimenta grandes transformaciones. No es de extrañar, pues que la nueva España brinde una oportunidad a la mujer para acceder al ámbito literario, tras estar sometida al rechazo e intolerancia con que el siglo anterior vincula la relación femenina con la pluma, permitiéndole por fin, ejercer la actividad intelectual, aunque con ciertas limitaciones, debido a que la sociedad estaba aún influenciada por los cánones decimonónicos. En este contexto, he de señalar que la participación femenina en el mundo de la literatura fue muy relevante, aunque muchas de las autoras que empezaron su trayectoria en aquel periodo han sido relegadas al olvido. Una de estas escritoras es Sara Álvarez Insúa Escobar a la que elegí como tema de esta tesis doctoral con el fin de poner al descubierto su obra junto a su prolífica labor literaria en una etapa difícil para el reconocimiento profesional de la mujer. Por ello, el principal objetivo de este trabajo tiene como fin contribuir a la recuperación actual de su prestigio literario. Durante la fase de investigación, descubrí que Sara Insúa se encuentra entre las destacadas escritoras de la época de la "Edad de Plata" que dejan su impronta en la literatura escrita por mujeres en aquel momento y también noté que su obra sufre una gran desatención por parte de la crítica. Por ello, como primera fase de elaboración de ese estudio, tuve que recuperar y reconstruir una gran parte de sus datos biográficos...
Nowadays, there are hardly any studies on women writers who began their career in the literary scene in the early twentieth century because their names were forgotten despite their multifaceted role. Their literary activity takes place mainly during the period called "La Edad de Plata" characterized by cultural and artistic development that lasts until the beginning of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). For this reason, I have chosen the author Sara Álvarez Insúa Escobar as a research topic for this dissertation in order to shed some light on her literary production and highlight the important and prolific work carried out by her in a difficult period for the professional recognition of the women writers. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to contribute to the current recovery of her literary prestige. Then, after the initial investigation phase, it was discovered that the author belongs to the group of women writers who left their mark on the literature written by women during the first third of the twentieth century. It was also discovered that Mrs Insúa’s work suffered indifference of literary critics. So firstly, I had to recover and rebuild much of her biographical data. I managed to carry out this task successfully, with considerable support from Dr. Angela Ena Bordonada who introduced me to the writer and researcher, the late Dr. Alberto Sanchez Alvarez Insúa, the author’s great nephew, to whose memory this thesis is dedicated. He gave me his remarkable and unique support by offering me some copies of her narrative production; he also provided me with the contact of the writer’s youngest daughter, María de la Consolation Castelló Insúa and her husband Jesús Alvarez Castelló, both residents in Venezuela...
