Caterina Albert i ParadAA-s (1869-1966) began her career with a scandal. Her dramatic monologue "The Infanticide," narrated by a young woman, won prizes and garnered the attention of the Catalan literary world, but its harsh theme drew outrage when the drama's anonymous author was revealed to be a woman. In the tradition of George Eliot, George Sand, and other controversial women authors, Albert assumed a man's name, VAA-ctor CatalAA . She continued to write unflinching narratives, mostly in Catalan, of the people and life around her, producing a body of work still enlisted today to help the Catalan language resist the dominance and encroachment of peninsular Spanish. Albert shares with her contemporaries Anton Chekhov and Emilia Pardo BazAAn an intense interest in the psychological development of characters and in narrative strategies, and the short stories collected here highlight her range of style and grasp of human nature. Kathleen McNerney provides an introduction to recent Catalan political and literary history, in which she contextualizes Albert's themes, feminism, and formal techniques.
