El paisaje y las referencias cultas en La playa de los locos de Elena Soriano

Abstract

This article focuses on the work of the insufficiently known writer Elena Soriano and more specifically on her novel La playa de los locos. The main objective is to analyze the cultured references present in the work, both from Judeo-Christianity and from classical culture or other literary texts. Likewise, the allusions to the famous fairy tales present in the novel have been studied. Given the disavowal of the publication of the novel by censors, the first part of this paper explains the context surrounding its publication and its repercussions on the author's career.
