Carmen Laforet y la generación del 50. La narrativa breve y La mujer nueva (1950-1955)

The aim of the following investigation is the analysis of the evolution of Carmen Laforet’s poetics from the 1950s onwards. The Catholic conversion of the author entails a literary approach to themes that must be considered fundamental for the generación del medio siglo and that, although indirectly, determine the process of adherence of the author to the abovementioned group. Therefore, some short stories and novels written after 1950 and the novel La mujer nueva (1955) are analysed, with particular attention to the process of configuration of the main characters in the works under investigation.
