Review Quotes

"Candelas Gala, Charles E. Taylor Professor of Romance Languages at Wake Forest University, offers in this book a new instance of her long research engagement with the connections between twentieth century Spanish poetry, art, and science. ... Gala's book is a powerful reminder, in these dire times of the dismissal of the humanities, that art is a unique and irreplaceable form of knowledge." (Juan Herrero-Senés, Studies in Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Literature, newprairiepress.org, June, 2017)
