    Sense and Sensibility Rewritten: Revising Love and Marriage in Jane Austen and Joanna Trollope’s Sequel
    (University of Timisoara, 2025-01-31) Gómez Galisteo, Carmen
    While most discussions of marriage in Jane Austen primarily dwell on Pride and Prejudice and its treatment, marriage is also central in Sense and Sensibility, which illustrates the penury that may befall young, single women with limited financial means. This essay analyzes Sense & Sensibility, a rewriting of Sense and Sensibility by Joanna Trollope (2013), which is set in twenty-first century England, paying close attention to how Trollope approaches love and marriage (its desirability or the obligation to get married), especially under the light of changing social mores in the twenty-first century and taking into account Austen’s own views on both issues as presented in Sense and Sensibility.

    Leaving the New World, Entering History: Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, John Smith and the Problems of Describing the New World
    (Universidad de Alicante, 2009) Gómez Galisteo, Carmen
    Spanish conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and British explorer John Smith went to the New World for different reasons but both shared the experience of being a captive to the Native Americans. After their return to Europe, both of them undertook the task of putting pen to paper to describe their New World experiences so as to inform their fellow countrymen. Writing in different countries and separated by a century of colonial discoveries and experiences, nevertheless, they encountered very similar difficulties in being trusted by professional historians. Both had to strive in order to be regarded as authoritative and valid sources of knowledge about a continent where they, contrary to most historians, had actually traveled to and lived in. This essay examines what their problems were and the strategies they made use of in order to persuade their readers of their trustworthiness.

    Teaching Twilight in the EFL Classroom: Avoiding Possible Pitfalls and How to Use It in a Positive Manner
    (Universidade de Lisboa, 2024-01-02) Martel Robaina, Martel; Gómez Galisteo, Carmen; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2580-9095; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3284-8375
    Using literature in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom can be a great tool to promote love of reading or enlarge our students’ vocabulary but the students’ needs, interests, English level and age must be also taken into account. Using canonical works such as Shakespeare’s plays or Virginia Woolf’s works may be of little reading interest for our students. For that reason, in the following essay, we propose using Twilight to teach Secondary education students in Spain (Bachillerato and E.S.O.- Educación Secundaria Obligatoria). We will use Twilight, the first novel in the series by Stephenie Meyer, so as not to overwhelm our students with reading the four novels that make up the series. Given the scope of this paper, we will similarly focus on the novels, not on the movies, although many students may be already familiar with the movies. The use of Twilight in the classroom may be fraught with concerns that the series of novels have raised about the limited roles presented to female characters, the protagonist’s lack of independence, the similarities between the novels’ love interests and domestic abusers … For those reasons, we propose the use of Twilight to discuss issues such as the reliability (or unreliability) of first-person narrators, and, moreover, the reliability of one’s perceptions of the world. We hope to use the novels as a way to discuss concerns of our students in regards to their self-confidence or their perception of themselves, in a positive manner, fostering positive images for our teenage students, a stage of life characterized by difficulties, many changes and turbulent thoughts.

    For the Benefit of the Afflicted?: American Captivity Narratives from Mary Rowlandson to Jessica Lynch
    (Universidad de Vigo, 2019-05-24) Gómez Galisteo, Carmen
    Since Mary Rowlandson’s book was published in 1682, captivity narratives have been extremely popular and successful, becoming a distinctively all-American genre. Over time, captivity narratives have fulfilled different goals, evolving and adapting themselves to the emergence of new formats and new media. Since the apparition of motion pictures, movies dealing with the topic of captivity are numerous, from The Searchers (1956) to the most recent, Captivity (2007). This essay examines the main characteristics of the genre and its evolution from colonial times to present-day America, in order to show how captivity narratives have changed to adjust to contemporary sensibilities. This essay also considers what uses captivity narratives have been put to and how they have changed and been modified to convey ends other than those envisaged by the authors of Puritan captivity narratives.

    An Eligible Bachelor: Austen, Love, and Marriage in Pride and Prejudice and Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld
    (Universidade de Lisboa, Centro de Estudos Anglísticos, Ubiquity Press, 2022-10-13) Gómez Galisteo, Carmen; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2580-9095
    Jane Austen’s six novels have been the starting point of many sequels, continuations, and adaptations. One of such is Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld, a rewriting of Pride and Prejudice set in 21st-century U.S.A., where the search for an eligible bachelor becomes a TV reality show. This essay analyzes how Sittenfeld modifies Austen’s characterization of the main characters and their matrimonial quest taking into account how marriage has changed since the 19th century, exploring what elements persist and what adjustments need to be made in order to bring the spirit of the original to our current days and if such an attempt is ultimately successful.
