Abstract

This paper analyses the literary fascination with the Orient through the study of the Spanish poet Trina Mercader. Based on a feminist approach and a discursive analysis methodology, the article deals with the appropriation of the Orientalist discourse in the Spanish literary history during the 1940-1950 decades. The paper focuses on three main topics: the Orientalist adventure, the Oriental fantasy and the poetic rewriting of the Orient.
