MUNOZ DE MORALES GALIANA, Javier. Between Autofiction and the Expressive Theory of Art: Efectos del amor propio by Miguel Álvarez De Sotomayor (c. 1810). Lexis [online]. 2022, vol.46, n.2, pp.773-803.  Epub 22-Dic-2022. ISSN 0254-9239.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/lexis.202202.011.

This paper aims to carry out an analysis of the novel Efectos del amor propio (c. 1810) using a broader theoretical framework than the one that has been used so far to study it. Thus, we consider that it can be typified as “autofiction”, a type of novel in which the identity of the main character and that of the author are mixed up, and which is conditioned by a new way of understanding artistic creation that emerged in the early nineteenth century: the “expressive theory of art”, applicable to works whose main purpose was the intimate venting of the author.

Palabras clave : Romanticism; epistolary novel; autobiography; lyrical prose.
