"¡Mi palacio ha sido profanado!": Homosexual Panic in Rosalía de Castro’s El caballero de las botas azules

Panel: 
Spanish and Portuguese (Peninsular) I
Abstract: 

This study explores Castro's novel in relation to Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's theories on the male homosocial continuum. I argue that the Duque's preence brings on a state of homosexual panic for the bachelor Albuerniga, forcing him to negotiate his way along the male homosocial continuum towards heterosexuality.
