The historical clues of “The Weary Sun of September” (1974)

Abstract

There is a close link between history and literature. Imaginary plots (events and occurrences) are described in a narrative based on real life models. In the light of this, the fabrication of “The Weary Sun of September” (1974), of José María Castillo-Navarro, and the events which happened in the Republican rearguard during the Civil War and the immediate post war period are closely related. So that, through a multi-disciplinary study, one can achieve an approachment between this fiction and the history, which implies that the literary work is another historiographic element in the analysis and interpretation of the past.
